The animal on the cover of Java Extreme Programming Cookbook is a bison. American Bison (Bison bison) are the largest land mammals in North America. Prior to European colonization, an estimated 30 to 70 million animals roamed the continent in vast herds. Bison were recklessly overhunted until, in the late 1800s, approximately 1,500 remained. Now bison are legally protected in Yellowstone National Park and on preserves such as the National Bison Refuge in Montana. The development of commercial bison ranching has also played a role in increasing the North American Bison population, which has grown to over 350,000 animals.
