Rare white calf
born on northern
Arizona ranch
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) - The own
ers of a small bison herd in northern
Arizona were surprised to find one of
their rare white buffalo had given birth
to something even rarer: a white calf.
It's a l-in-10 million occurrence,
Keith Davis, a spokesman for Spirit
Mountain Ranch, said of Saturday's
birth. "This is so rare specifically be
cause she was born white," Davis said.
"The others were born red (like nor
mal buffalo) and turned white."
The birth of a white bison is mean
ingful for many American Indian tribes
who consider it a symbol of rebirth
when the world's people are in troubled
times. None of the bison is albino but
rather a mutation of the usual fur color
of dark brown to black, said Dcna Riley,
who owns the ranch near Flagstaff with
her husband.
Of 1 1 bison on the ranch, four are
white, not including the newborn.
The ranch was moved onto its 5
acre site near the San Francisco Peaks
in December 2(K)1 and has had visi
tors from around the globe to see white
bison, according to Dena Riley.
