that's funny that Biden technically gets credit
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I saw a headline saying ontario is going to be the coldest place on earth this week (I assume northern ontario)
Hot damn ontario is stacked
as far as prolific animals go, if eagles didn't exist I'd be ok with a turkey
it's unique to us and is sorta US-coded
Its not too bad here
its only -28
we didn't know about bison yet
right
this is, early colonies, the deepest they explored was the Canadian interior and found beavers
1800s
because of Polu I just autocorrect that as st.louis and clark when reading that

1804*
1600s we knew about all the East Coast animals, and found some Ohio valley stuff in the 1750s-onward
Cardinals, white-tailed deer, turkeys, bears, and all the flavors of small mammals

Discover how the 1700's shaped our understanding of bison as early explorers grappled with their identity and size.
allaboutbison.comthere were wild buffalo in Virginia

I didn't know this
RUSP

Rusp
this is the first drawing
of a VA buffalo
I was assuming, we had the super shaggy curly haired ones
but no
we had 4-legged satans
the east coast ones apparently didn't have big herds, so they'd just hang out with wild cows and horses
I genuinely didn't know this
they were local to Max and I as well

American Bison at Maymont
Early settlers in the United States first designated the term “buffalo” to bison (Bison bison), but they are not buffaloes at all!
maymont.orgI think we'll actually get mammoths
other than that, I just want the terrabirds
I know spooky did one already but this is important
