You are just as likely to see bison in Canada as the United States, simply because their historic range expanded north into Canada (as far north as the Yukon and Northwest Territories), and as far south as Texas. Yellowstone National Park in the USA is very famous for its large bison herd, however you are also very likely to see bison in Elk Island National Park of Alberta, Canada, and Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Wood Buffalo National Park of the northeastern corner of Alberta is also home to the largest herd of wood bison (different species from the Plains Bison) in the world.

Many private ranches in Canada and the USA also have bison herds, however many of these domesticated bison are not of the pure bison strain. These bison have been interbred with domestic cattle to make them more tamer, and breeding programs have made these bison more like bison than cattle, though the docility genetics have been bred into them and expanded on to make these animals easier to handle than their wilder, pure-bred brethren.
