I guess that’s the question of the day!
These guys definitely are one of the biggest animals in Our YNP!
While they are not predators… or meat eaters… they can certainly be dangerous. We don’t mess around with these guys. Take a look at those horns. They’re not there as accessories. They’re there to inflict pain.
We wish that the tourists that invade Our YNP would remember that Bison only seem slow and unassuming. They seem like they don’t really care that they are being stared at, photographed and posed in front of.
But they DO get stressed. They DO get mad!
And they can move FAST! Try 40 mph fast!
(Here’s a link that shows how fast a bison can move. I won’t post it here because I don’t want to offend anyone.)
If you’re safe and smart, bison can be some of the most beautiful animals of Our YNP.
These are the pictures that are on the blog banner (up above). They were taken from the safety of our vehicle.
This is the one picture that I wasn’t in a car for. But I was more than 100 yards away.
Taken in Lamar Valley.
The next two pictures were taken on separate weekends. The first was taken along the Madison River, very close to the campground.
The second was on the road somewhere by Midway Geyser Basin.
Kind of.
We loved the face of this Little Lady.
She has the perfect Bison face!
Plus she was a little itchy. Trying to get that winter coat off!
(This was also taken in Lamar Valley. Different weekend.)
This picture is kind of an “I- Spy” of YNP. (It’s not in the banner. Sorry.)
Look closely.
Can you see my friend the Bison down there?
This was taken just over the big bridge that’s between
Mammoth and Roosevelt.
