Buffalo, Golden Gate Park
Buffalo (actually American Bison) have resided in Golden Gate Park since 1890. Originally they were brought from the plains of Wyoming and Kansas by early naturalists for safe-keeping. In 1993 a group of Lakota Sioux held a ceremony in the park at which each animal was given a Native American name. At 115 years the herd is one of the oldest symbols of San Francisco.
