This bison is from the Central Interior herd, which numbers approximately 1400 individuals, and can be found along the Madison River valley where it was photographed. It was snowing at the time the image was taken.
The Yellowstone Park bison herd in Yellowstone National Park is probably the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. The Yellowstone Park bison herd was estimated in 2015 to be 4,900 bison The bison in the Yellowstone Park bison herd are American bison of the Plains bison subspecies. Yellowstone National Park may be the only location in the United States where free-ranging bison were never extirpated, since they continued to exist in the wild and were not re-introduced, as has been done in most other bison herd areas.
The Central Interior herd, which numbers approximately 1400 individuals, ranges from the Madison River valley into the Hayden Valley and Upper and Lower Geyser Basins.
American Bison once numbered in the millions, perhaps between 25 million and 60 million by some estimates, and they were possibly the most numerous large land animal on earth. However, by the late 1880s, they had been hunted to near extinction throughout North America. It appears that the Yellowstone Park bison herd was the last free-ranging bison herd in the United States and the only place where bison were not extirpated in the United States. The Yellowstone Park bison herd is descended from a remnant population of 23 individual bison that survived the mass slaughter of the 19th century by hiding out in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone Park. In 1902, a captive herd of 21 Goodnight plains bison was introduced to the park and then moved to the Lamar Valley and managed as livestock until the 1960s, when a policy of natural regulation was adopted by the park.
American bison live in river valleys, and on prairies and plains. Their typical habitat is open or semi-open grasslands, as well as sagebrush, semi-arid lands and scrublands. Some lightly wooded areas are also known historically to have supported bison. Bison will also graze in hilly or mountainous areas where the slopes are not steep. Though bison are not particularly known as high altitude animals, members of the Yellowstone Park bison herd are frequently found at elevations above 8,000 feet and a herd started with founder animals from Yellowstone, the Henry Mountains bison herd, is found on the plains around the Henry Mountains, Utah, as well as in mountain valleys of the Henry Mountains to an altitude of 10,000 feet.
The bull is up unable to stand the constant biting and buzzing of the bugs any longer. He soon rolled in his dusty wallow again to help fend them off. But this only does so for a short time. Danged bugs.....

I went to photograph some bison in front of the Tetons........Then luckily got photobombed by a big storm. This was an amazing late afternoon storm that just appeared and disappeared very quickly. The rain did not reach me, so I had a great chance to photograph the entire scene. 9-22-2020 Grand Teton National Park.

A mature bison bull in nice morning light. Badlands National Park, South Dakota. This guy still had most of his winter coat while others were in various stages of shedding. It was sunny with Temps in the 80's that day so he had to be pretty uncomfortable.

I don't normally go out for drives on Sunday but on this day a volunteering event was cancelled so a friend and I went for a little drive just West of the city. It was a beautiful day to get out.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all greatly appreciated.
Up close and personal with an icy bison on a frigid Yellowstone morning. I must admit, that the wild look in his eye gave me pause for concern. What this hiker fears most, is a lonely buffalo.

Bison at Yellowstone National Park. I spotted this trio around dusk, and they were on the move, so I had my camera set at ISO 1600. If they had stayed still and posed for me I would have gone for different settings, but I'm glad I managed to get a shot to remember them by!

Лесные бизоны (Bison bison athabascae) были успешно реинтродуцированы в питомнике Усть-Буотама в Центральной Якутии в рамках проекта по восстановлению популяции этих животных в их историческом ареале.
