Kevin Costner directed a very special co-star in Dances With Wolves — a pet buffalo once owned by legendary musician Neil Young!
The buffalo, named Mammoth, made a cameo in the iconic 1990 film. Costner, who not only starred in but also directed the Oscar-winning epic, worked with the animal during one of the film’s most memorable scenes. The unlikely crossover of Hollywood and rock ‘n’ roll gave Dances With Wolves one of its coolest behind-the-scenes stories.
Who knew Neil Young’s buffalo had a brush with movie stardom?
