Safari White Buffalo Toy

A White Buffalo is an American Bison with white fur, in contrast to the usual brown color of a Bison. White Buffaloes are born white for any of four reasons. Some are albino, others are leucistic, a few have a rare genetic trait that allows their fur to stay white a few years after birth, and some have the white Charolais Cattle in their ancestry.

History: Given the importance of buffaloes in Native American culture, its no surprise that the white buffalo was considered a spiritually significant and important animal. If a white buffalo was spotted or found, Native American abstained from killing it and instead visited it for prayer as well as other religious rituals.
