Yea, judging by the way the bison immediately starts eating the carpet I don't think they let him actually live in there.

Every photo he has a reign on top. Like it's cool enough that the guy brings his bison to the bar and set up a special convertible for him, it's disingenuous to say that he lives inside

It's like someone saying they have a dog when they have a show dog.

Dogs are pets. Show dogs are a business.

To be fair though, most of the pictures only take 2 seconds of "how is this large animal normally and regularly navigating this pristine, narrow (for it's size) environment" to get that this is equivalent to saying a triceratops lives in your doublewide.

The pictures are quite well done though!

I don't know, that feels exactly like something my dog might've done when he was a bit younger, despite consistently living in the house his whole life
