LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP)-- A bison herd from South Dakota has arrived in Kansas to begin life on the Tallgrass Prairie.

Leaders from the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve went to South Dakota to collect 20 of the bison from this unique herd of about 500.

They hope it will be the beginning of a herd of about 100 that will roam the public parkland in the Flint Hills.

The Kansas group ended up receiving only 13 buffalo--six cows and seven bulls.

Other groups from Montana, Iowa, and even Mexico also received fewer than they had sought.
