Located in southwestern Oklahoma, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge was established in 1901 to protect wildlife in danger of extinction and reintroduce species that had been eliminated. The 59,020-acre refuge is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is home to bison, elk, and wild turkey.

The refuge has a mixed-grass prairie that remained intact due to rocks that prevented plowing. Large native grazing animals such as bison and Texas longhorn cattle call the habitat home.
