Description

Two adult Bison clash together for a freindly game in the Lamar Valley just before sunset.

Even from a considerable distance you can hear the ground to the stamping of there heavy hoofs. despite there weight they are very agile and very fast when they choose to be.

Bison are the last remaining mega fauna living in North America, and Yellowstone is home to the last genetically pure free ranging herds of the species in the nation.

At one time this animal dotted the plains in the millions, The American army in an effort to subdue the Indians carried out a eradication plan that wiped the bisons population out. They were shot on sight for no reason, tourists were encouraged to shoot them for fun as there trains crossed the plains. At the end of the effort only 12 remained.

Because of our past with the animal we owe it our efforts to ensure its future.
