Bison

When in Yellowstone last summer we came in via the west entrance and joined the main loop at Madison Junction. Near the junction in a small parking area we first saw this bison cow and her new calf. The calf was so young the umbilical cord had not yet fallen off. We took a few pictures and headed back out to the main road where we found them again strolling down the middle of the road as though they owned it (which in Yellowstone they do). We had no choice but to follow them very slowly and at a distance until they left the road and disappeared into the woods. There are other pictures of them on my blog post, but I especially liked this one.
