Mysterious buffalo herd runs amok in Canadian prairies
Ottawa (AFP) - A mysterious buffalo herd numbering almost 100 has appeared in the Canadian prairie province of Saskatchewan, officials said Friday, 150 years after they were hunted to the brink of extinction.
Police issued a warning to drivers to watch out for the large animals on local highways, while officials in the town of Tisdale, Saskatchewan, 300 kilometers (185 miles) north of the provincial capital Regina, try to sort out what to do with the beasts.
Spokespeople for the police and the town said they have no idea where the animals came from, and it remains unclear if they are domesticated or wild.
"We're not sure where they're from," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Daryl Andrusiak told AFP.
