Also....a belated welcome to DU!
I don't know what prompted me to think of this, but I suspect this herd, and their herds of relatives are likely, if not THE most successful, among the most successful introduced species in the world.
So often, there are awful unintended, unexpected consequences, but they seem to have assimilated to the American West quite completely. They aren't displacing any native species, that I know of, and they certainly don't seem to be suffering themselves.

The wild herds are such a visceral connection to The Old West, which seems to be America's

OMG So gorgeous! But you might want to delete the first shot with the mountain range.
