Too Close

Custer State Park, SD

Ordinarily I would not post something like this. We were in the car when all of a sudden we were surrounded by bison. One of my cameras had my really long lens on and the other had a portrait lens which I used here. I couldn't get out of the car to get to my other lenses because there were a lot of calves around and I did not want this cow attacking me. They were all in the process of shedding as is evident here.


Best viewed at original size.

"Don't pet the fluffy cows" is the advice here. A gnarly character it is VVV~

Neat shot! There has to be a use for all that shed fur.

Looks like he needs a visit to the bison groomer.
