Превью арта, который спецом приготовила для заметки о своей самой любимой (ну, единственной любимой по факту) игре для канала подкаста "Три Фангёрлы" (я там за третью, надо отдуваться))

Текст с полной картинкой скоро появится где-то здесь

Most American bison in the world are privately owned, and therefore the ranchers can breed them with cattle if they want. In fact, you can increase your odds of getting a white beefalo, or creatures of any other color, if you mix them with the appropriate domestic cattle.

However, conservation herds such as the ones in Yellowstone and here in Evanston, Wyoming, are meant to preserve some of the bison purity, so they're not going to actively hybridize them. You can often see the Bear River animals from the highway, although from that distance they kind of just look like little lumps.

The managers at Bear River State Park "try to maintain our herd at 7 to 10 adult animals" and this article from the spring of 2023 says there were 15 total at the time of writing. Three of them, including a calf, are white! You can see the calf in the last image and compare his size now, still not fully grown. They are not albino, but the color actually does come from genes from Charolais cattle, which are white, in their ancestry.

I always name my Beefalo "Sauerkraut".

[IMAGE ID: A multimedia artwork of Wilson from Don't Starve beside a tamed beefalo. They are drawn in a simple, sketchy style with oil pastels. His beefalo has red bows on its horn and tail. They are in a field of grass made out of washi tape, and above them is text reading "I LOVE YOU" made with stickers. There are hearts doodled around the two. END ID]
