On today’s episode of “Barrack Obama is the Man,” our president signs a bill declaring that the North American bison is our national mammal, because why not?
The National Bison Legacy Act — which is a real thing that exists — positions the bison as one of our national animals because it played an important role in westward expansion.

Fortunately, conservationists have brought the North American bison back from the brink. To celebrate their newfound distinction, let’s take a look at some baby bison being adorable.
