SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Marco Berger took this photo of an American Bison grazing in Golden Gate Park. It is part of a small herd that has been at the park since 1892, before San Francisco opened its first zoo in the 1930s.

The bison are cared for by staff from the San Francisco Zoo, while Recreation and Parks Department gardeners maintain the enclosure.

You can find the bison just west of Spreckels Lake along John F. Kennedy Drive.
