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.

This big boy was peacefully grazing and lifted its head to check me out before continuing. The Plain's Bison is one of two subspecies of the American Bison. A big bull can be 1.75 m tall and weigh 900 kg.

Number two in my tribute to the ladies series is this beautiful and formidable bison cow moving across the mixed-grass prairie of Badlands National Park.
Her three to four month old calf was trailing behind just out of the frame.
I've lived in Alaska for 23 years now and have only seen bison three times. The first two times the herd was on the Deltana River at least a half mile away. The third time, five bison came to within 25 yard of us. We were on our way to see family near Tok Alaska when we seen these bison walking in a clearing. Needless to say, we, my wife and I were really excited to see them. We only had a few minutes with them, they turned and went back into the woods, but wow, what an experience.
These bison are part of a herd that was introduced to Alaska back in 1928.

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.
This picture was such a pleasant surprise. We were visiting someone in Riverhead Long Island and stumbled upon this little Bison farm
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!

I am not clear on who has the right of way.
But I think I will let them go first.

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.

Le troupeau s'agrandit chaque année ...Il y a obligation de ne pas avoir trop de bisons par rapport aux surfaces disponibles de pâturage....
Le restaurant est donc un débouché privilégié.
