Ska, named from the Native American word for 'white,' is a white bison who joined Chahinkapa Zoo on Sunday, Sept. 10. A yearling weighing between 600-700 pounds, Ska is unique. Zoo curator Tom Schmaltz says Ska is unique because he's the product of recessive genes. White bison are rare. But Ska is not considered a true albino because he doesn't have pink eyes.
