"Large herbivores such as elephants, bison and moose contribute to tree diversity." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 3 November 2023. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 11 / 231103141411.htm>.

JACKSON, Wyo. — There have not been any major changes in the number of bighorn sheep, moose and bison populations in the Jackson Hole region, according to wildlife managers.

Over that span the Jackson bighorn sheep herd grew slightly to an estimated 425 animals, while the Jackson bison herd went down in size from 691 to 666 total bulls, cows and calves.

Most four-legged land herbivores—cows, moose, rhinos, bison, and horses among them—can doze lightly on their feet, but they have to lie down to sleep deeply.
