History
The Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo was founded by Dan Franklin and located at 2272 North Coley Road.
Buffalo
A large herd of American Bison roam the park. Modified school buses with large, off-road tires take visitors into the park to see the herd.
Rare white buffalo
The Buffalo Park is home to Tukota, a rare white buffalo, not an albino. There are several great legends by the Sioux tribes explaining the creation and the infrequent occurrence of the white buffalo. A white buffalo is so rare in fact that they only occur one time in five million births. This make "Tukota" one of the special animals here at the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo.
