And this is operation bison drop. Herds of bison flown hundreds of miles
north to the frozen tundra. This is the largest airlift ever attempted to bring a nearly extinct animal
back into the Alaskan wild. They have only one shot,
and you have exclusive access. But these aren't your everyday
run-of-the-mill buffalo. Oh, no, these are wood bison. Heavier, taller and ornerier
than the plains bison of the lower 48. They're the biggest terrestrial mammal
in the Western hemisphere
