Not in South Dakota, here they are called "Tatanka."
Anyways, the differences between North and South Dakota. The first and biggest difference is the names, two letters. South Dakota is larger and more populace than North Dakota. South Dakota has many famous visitor attractions, such as Mount Rushmore, the Black Hills, Sturgis, the Corn Palace, Wall Drug, Jackalopes and four of the eight dams on the Missouri. Which is simultaneously a source of great revenue and headaches for our states. The upper states of the Missouri Compact (South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana) believe that the dams should be holding back more water to allow the fish to spawn in spring, the lower states (Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri) believe that the dams should let more water through to allow shipping to move further up the river even though most barges go no further than St. Louis.
North Dakota however does not have their heads up their asses. South Dakota is far more populace as I said before, Sioux Falls, where I live, is growing incredibly fast. Brandon, a suburb of Sioux Falls, will be the third largest city in the state in less than a decade if they keep growing at the projected rates. You would think that the state would take advantage of that growth, build some new stuff, but no. The Gateway Arena in Sioux City seats 10,000, the FargoDome has a capacity of 18,500. The Sioux Falls Arena sells out at 6,000. Hmm, I wonder why we can never get any big name stars to come to South Dakota. Finally there are plans to build a new events center, the plans have not been approved yet and it is still just conjecture, but it is a start. Also, even though North Dakota has almost no tourist atractions they make a lot more money off of tourism than South Dakota because most of our attractions are free to the public. (Like I said, stupid.)
Some pictures I forgot.
