Episode #111:  Hoofed Animals of South Dakota

In this episode we take a look at various hoofed animals, learning which regions the different animals inhabit. We come face to face with a herd of male elk, and we observe a mother elk and her baby as they forage for food. We also travel to Custer State Park for the annual Buffalo Roundup where we learn the importance of proper management of the buffalo herd.
