Bison
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World “true” buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

I've used quite a lot of post-processing to bring out the contrast and isolate the subject in this shot taken at RZSS's Highland Wildlife Park near Kincraig.

I was surprised to see the female bison cuddle up to her big boyfriend. They would cuddle and eat and then she'd run and he'd chase, etc., etc.
This is at Rocky Mountain Arsenal - National Wildlife Refuge and, of course, those are the Rocky Mountains in the background.
A pair of wood bison seen in northern British Columbia. They are noticeably larger than our Plains Bison. Another fine specimen in comments.
Wood bison, the largest animal in the Americas, once roamed throughout present-day Alaska and western Canada. But unregulated hunting in the 1800s nearly wiped them out, and by the middle of the 20th century some thought the animals were extinct. But then, in 1957, a small herd was found in a remote part of Alberta by the crew of a plane flying overhead. Since then, their numbers have rebounded to around 11,000 in Canada, as governmental organizations have helped breed and repatriate them to a few parts of their former range. May they thrive and prosper.
Have a wonderful Spring week!
Bison roaming over the Hayden Valley in the northeastern part of Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone River runs through the valley.
Plains Bison (Bison bison) bull bellowing out its call during the onset of the breeding season in Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
There were a number of bulls calling out on the grasslands but none of them were really out to challenge another bull on the day we visited the park. I believe it was still early in the season and they were just starting to feel the biological urge.

This will be the last photo of the Plains Bison cow taken last week. She looks so docile in this photo, but she was keeping an eye on us as we took her pictures. There was a young female bison laying down behind her, I think she was keeping guard over her.

Happy 'RoidWeek Spring 2014! Day 4
She thought I had treats. I did not. She soon figured that fact out, but waited patiently just long enough to pose for a couple of shots.
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.....
Few things symbolize the American West more than the Bison. This Bison was climbing a small hill, trying to rejoin the herd, in Lamar Valley on the northern edge of the park.
