The Luverne Buffalo is located at Those Blasted Things, a gift shop which opened in 2001. For more, see their website. [photo thanks Mark Comstock] The Giant Buffalo was built in 1960 of concrete on a steel frame. It is the world's largest buffalo with the dimensions of 26' tall, 26' long, and 14' long. It weighs 60 tons and cost $11,000 to build. It is a monument dedicated to the vast herds of bison that once roamed the prairies. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |

| White Buffalo Janesville, WI |

| This White Buffalo represents "Miracle" who was born on this ranch in 1994 and died in 2004. Native Americans believe the white buffalo to be sacred. This sculpture depicts the buffalo and the legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman. It was created by Harry Whitehorse in 1996. The sculpture was damaged in a storm and restored in 2001. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. |

 |
 |
 |
| These bronze Buffalo statues were created by Kent Ullberg and installed from around 2002-2006. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |
| Buffalo and Cow Fond du Lac, WI |
|
 |
 |
| This Buffalo and Cow were previously in Peshtigo, WI. They were moved here around 2006. They are parked, still on their trailers, in a dead end street at a mobile home park. I believe they are owned by Steenberg Homes next door. For more, see this website. |
| Buffalo, Elk and Castle Wall, SD |
||
 |
 |
 |
| The Buffalo and Elk (or I guess it could be a Bison and a Deer of some sort) stand in front of an America's Best Value Inn. These figures appear pretty old and are different from the other fiberglass examples on this page. I don't know if they have always been at this property (surely another motel was here before) or were moved here from someplace else. The Castle behind the Elk evidently contains pool supplies. |
| Giant Deer, Buffalo & Moose Wisconsin Deer Park Wisconsin Dells, WI |
||
 |
 |
 |
| These three fiberglass Giant Animals stand in a picnic area. There are also a bear and a cow not shown here. They were all produced by FAST. FAST is responsible for many giant animals, people and things described throughout my website. |
