LAMPE, Mo. A park in the Missouri Ozark Mountains has spotted a rare white American bison.
The Dogwood Canyon Nature Park said the park has a herd of 25 bison. The rare white one joined the heard earlier this year and is named Takoda, meaning “friend to everyone. The animal is thought to be a sign of peace and good fortune.
If you’d like to catch a glimpse of Takoda in person, the park is offering a Wildlife Tram Tour. It includes a two-hour guided ride through the canyon and into the ridgetops of Arkansas where herds of bison, elk and deer reside. The ride will cost $25 for adults and $15 for children.
