Buffalo calves typically stay with their mothers for about one to two years. During this time, they rely on their mothers for nourishment, protection, and guidance as they learn essential survival skills. As the calves grow, they gradually become more independent but may remain within the family herd for several years before eventually dispersing to find their own territory or join other herds. When their mothers are killed, they usually face certain death. Madeleine was lucky!

Buffalo are surprisingly agile despite their size. They can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour), making them one of the fastest land animals in North America. So, if you ever find yourself in a buffalo’s territory, remember, they’re not just big—they’re also incredibly speedy!
