16 U.S.C. § 36 — Disposition of surplus elk, buffalo, bear, beaver, and predatory animals

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior manage surplus wildlife from Yellowstone National Park. At the Secretary's discretion, and under regulations the Secretary sets, the Secretary can give surplus elk, buffalo, bear, beaver, and predatory animals from the park to federal, state, county, and municipal authorities, for use in wildlife preserves, zoos, zoological gardens, and parks. The Secretary may also sell or otherwise dispose of surplus buffalo from the Yellowstone herd specifically. Any money received from selling surplus buffalo must be deposited in the U.S. Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
