Artist's Description
The ecological impact of the bison on prairie ecosystems is far more profound than you might have imagined. Bison increase both plant and resulting wildlife diversity through their selective grazing practices. For plants, their selective grazing practices allow forbs (broad-leaved herbs) and woody species to flourish, as the bison tend to favor dominant grasses. For wildlife, the grazed areas of the bison provide the preferred foraging and hunting grounds for prairie dogs, which themselves serve as food for ferrets, foxes, eagles, and hawks. Prairie dogs colonies also provide homes to reptiles and small mammals. Even the wallows of bison, created by their habit of rolling in the soil, create pools of water in the spring further supporting local species and vegetation. Bison also serve as a food source for such animals as wolves, grizzly bears (particularly when there are fewer elk in the winter), and birds. Finally, the decomposition of their carcasses provides nutrients to the...
About Tom Blodgett Jr
I hope these paintings will in some way inspire you to investigate these organisms further. Their wondrous forms and capabilities are often overlooked and underappreciated. Imagine the tapestry that would color your world if you could communicate using sonar (yet still be able to learn human sign language) like a dolphin, smell with the intensity of the Polar Bear, understand chemical signals like the Honey Bee, navigate up to 600 miles from memory like the Desert Elephant, or utilize the earth’s geomagnetic fields to swim 800 miles like the Green Sea Turtle.
