p. 12 ANIMAL: BUFFALO. Buffalo Bull
This American bison is smaller than other individual animals in this ledger, filling about half the page. The animal stands facing the left edge of the page. The pencil outline is filled with lead pencil shading. Details include two horns, split hooves, nose, tail, and shaggy fur on its head. The short tail arcs downward, and the hump is prominent. Most individual buffalo in these Dodge City 1879 ledgers are male. Other artists depict male genitalia, the Porcupine ledger artist does not.
