The wildlife of Indiana has changed as has its natural features. It’s hard now to visualize herds of bison once roaming our Hoosier prairies or elk in the edge of the forests that once covered the state. Add in black bear, panthers, wolves and a number of other species and you get a picture of how much our wildlife has changed.
The prairies of western Indiana were where the bison, better known to the first settlers as buffalo, occurred in sizable numbers. A few also were found in the forested section of our state.
Added to the native bison were the ones from the prairie lands of Illinois that traveled across Hoosierland to reach the large salt licks in Kentucky. These bison in their migration to the salt licks eroded the path of their journey into a road-like depression that came to be known as the Buffalo Trace.
