Happy #NationalBisonDay 🦬 Did you know the wood bison is the largest land animal in Canada and North America? 🇨🇦
In Canada specifically, wood bison can be found in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Yukon and Northwest Territories. They have been known to live in boreal and aspen forests where they often forage in open meadows, particularly during harsh winters.

Interesting!
When Walt Disney announced plans to make a feature-length animated movie, Hollywood thought he'd lost his mind. Audiences loved Mickey Mouse cartoons, but those were short subjects. Industry skeptics doubted anyone would sit through an entire movie featuring animated characters.
And the financial risks were staggering.
Disney originally estimated the film would cost $250,000. But production stretched over three years, and the budget ballooned to $1.5 million. Disney mortgaged his house, sold his car, and borrowed against his life insurance to finish the picture.
When SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS premiered at Hollywood's Carthay Circle Theatre in December 1937, the audience included Shirley Temple, Charlie Chaplin, and Clark Gable. Another 30,000 fans gathered outside.
By all accounts, Disney watched nervously as the audience became engrossed in his movie.
At the end, they gave it a standing ovation.
SNOW WHITE became a box-office sensation, earning $8 million in its first year. Its success helped finance construction of Walt Disney's new studio in Burbank.
A million-and-a-half-dollar gamble and an empire built on the proceeds.
Not bad for a movie Hollywood thought was a terrible idea.
