ragged

Theodore Roosevelt NP, North Dakota

not too far into the park came upon another herd of bison grazing near the loop road...we stayed close to the car, with its doors left wide open, as the thrilling encounter was not without danger...bison can be ill tempered and aggressive


admittedly they do look a tad ragged here, as the Spring moulting is well underway

What a wonderful shot this is, so reminiscent of the "old west", timeless and beautiful. V

Time to shed their winter coats. Nice photo of this good looking group. V

Wise to stay alert —- I do remember them as being a bit tempermental when driving in that area.

It’s amazing to see. I like how the one has its eyes on you. V

Nice close up capture, and I think they could be especially aggressive with young ones.

You definitely need to be vigilant - they definitely can be mean. Great close shot of this group. ~V~

A fine capture of this group which are highly unpredictable especially when calves are in the group. ~V

A fine close up of these big wild bison with all the detail of molting and the little one suckling.

They are rather shaggy but what a thrill to see up close. V

Good to take care. Every year, some dumb tourist tries to get a selfie with a wild animal and ends up hurt. Hooves and horns hurt. :) You got a good shot them from your carside vantage point.

Great shot of these bisons grazing at such close range especially they can be dangerous and unpredictable...V

Great capture! The one on the left seems to have spotted you. Glad you didn't get too close!
Bryan Murahashi19-Jun-2018 05:08
Nice scene with the young one suckling.
Nick Paoni19-Jun-2018 04:08
Neat shot. Looks like you've caught the attention of at least one of them. Good idea keeping your distance and staying near the car.

How exciting to be able to see these bison close up! Well captured, and I'm glad none of them decided to charge you.

Hope you had your sneakers on too! So wonderful seeing these guys.
Walter Otto Koenig18-Jun-2018 23:36
Interesting to see them molting and nice you got a young one too.

Nice capture, David! I saw a man almost killed by a bison in North Dakota.
