Baby fever has brought a stampede of interest to a quiet stretch of prairie east of Des Moines.
What's causing the stir? A fuzzy, “one-in-a-million” white bison calf born at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge.
The rare calf is drawing droves to the Prairie City refuge, clogging roads and prompting extra law enforcement patrols as visitors hope to catch a glimpse of the unusually pale animal.
“One of our staff members said on Sunday afternoon there’s probably 40, 50 cars out there on the road,” refuge manager Scott Gilje said. “That is triple, for sure.”
