The animal, which most in the area know as"Tyson the Bison," escaped a north suburban farm late last year and was safely located Wednesday morning from the Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda.

Lake County Forest Preserve officials, who believe the massive animal settled at Lakewood in April, had been working with a professional livestock specialist for the past several days to capture the bison. "We are thankful the animal has been removed from the forest preserve safely before Memorial Day weekend when attendance at preserves increases," said Mike Tully, chief operations officer for the Lake County Forest Preserves."The safety of our users and the animal has been our No. 1 priority throughout this process.
