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. Первую группу лесных бизонов (30 голов) завезли в 2006 году из Канады, национального парка «Элк-Айленд». Сейчас численность этого вида в Лено-Вилюйском междуречье достигла 308 особей.
Wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) have been successfully reintroduced to the Ust-Buotama nursery in Central Yakutia as part of a project to restore the population of these animals in their historical range. The first group of wood bison (30 heads) was brought in 2006 from Canada, Elk Island National Park. Currently, the number of this species in the Lena-Vilyui interfluve has reached 308 individuals.
Referred to as a Buffalo, but not really a buffalo, symbol of the American West. This herd was in Utah near Salt Lake City, Antelope Island.
I liked this perspective I was able to get of this feeding Bison at Antelope Island. These huge animals wander free on this island including right through the campgrounds as was the case with this one and a few others.
If you think I was close here at 123mm you are right but I was hiding behind my minivan (it was on the passenger side so I had to get out to get a decent shot.
This Fuji 100-400 lens continues to surprise me with how sharp it is. The hair detail here is very surprising. I took some shots of this same Bison with my Zeiss 50mm macro at its sharpest apertures and at this distance the zoom lens wins over a 50% crop of the macro lens. I was very surprised.

A bison stands on grasses in Hayden Valley of Yellowstone. The thousands of dots are insects, caught in the light of the setting sun. This photo was taken during a recent natgeo student photo expedition.
Bison are grazing animals. The average adult bison needs to eat about twenty-four pounds (11 kg) of food each day.

I took a trip to Yellowstone Park yesterday (with three 8 year old boys). There were more bison on the roads than I have ever encountered. They were walking so slow and deliberately that my grandson said they just looked so tired we should leave so we didn't bother them. Good for him for feeling that way! (We did our best not to bother them)
Male Bison at sunrise near Madison Junction.
This bull was one of many in the area this particular morning. I estimate the herd was about 60 strong near me, with another 80 or so at a distance. I got to witness a few bison crossing the river this day too.

This bison and its compadres were "feasting" if you can say that about dried grasses that in warmer times form the "floating" islands on Floating Island Lake. Lake is a significant overstatement, it's definitely more pond-sized, and so shallow it's like it was frozen solid under the beast's feet, making for safe passage on this very cold day in Yellowstone National Park
"Gray Bison"
With Memorial day the vacation season goes into full swing and I'm reminded of last year's trip to Yellowstone National Park- what a great experience! Some day I hope to return but this year I guess I'll have to be content with an Alaskan cruise ;) One down, 496 bucket-list destinations to go.
This young bison appears to have made friends with a bird. Photo taken in Elk Island National Park, Canada.
Baby bison are called red dogs and that is because they are typically "red" but this little guy was the first I have seen of a chocolate color. Chocolate "Little Red" was a stroke of luck in my adventures.
When the calves are born, typically their moms stay pretty far away from areas that are accessible. It is even luck to get them close enough to photograph because trekking out to little reds would be a horrible disaster and much discouraged. 😂
I feel pretty blessed when I go out looking for something and I score. Lots of days are filled with looking, putting lots of miles on your car (with 230,000 miles already) and finding nothing.
This was my first visit to Elk Island National Park this spring. Much like everywhere else here in Alberta, The trees are starting to bud and the animals are beginning to stir and make their presence known again.
I managed to get within 20' of this big guy. And I'd of been scared out of my socks, had I not been in my truck at the time. Some times it helps to take a trip to Yellowstone, even during a drought.
There were very few animals in the Park, and just outside the Park the animals I did see looked to be about half starved. We waited a life time to make this trip, and because of the lack of rain everything was pretty much dried out. I pray we get lots of rain this winter. We need to put out all these Fires and fill-up our lakes and reservoirs.
God bless America.

There were so many birds sitting on the backs of bison and feeding near/around them. Often the bison would feel itchy with all the birds on their backs. It caused them to shiver to remove them or roll in the dirt.
When the chips are down and I'm feeling low, I can always look to the animal kingdom for an infusion of joy. Whether it's my dogs, or a young bison drinking peacefully from a pond, they have a way of making me feel better about my lot in life. It's the simple things.

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.

Sometimes, we humans seem to try seriously to do the right thing by other animals. From:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_bison
The European Bison was shot to extinction in the wild, back in the 1920s. Fortunately, there were still some in captivity. In recent years, 17 European countries have begun re-introducing them, mainly into the wild. As of 2019, the estimated population was ca. 7500, with a majority in Poland and Belarus. Interestingly, they are forest-dwelling.
My photo is an attempt to capture their timeless size and power using just a back-lit head and shoulders portrait.
The bison shown here are in a small herd recently introduced into our local animal park. They are in a nice, large outdoor space with a stream flowing through it. The bison living space includes areas out of public view. Possibly this is so that they have some privacy if they want it.
The little backlit white things in the photo are tiny, tiny insects of some kind. If you click on the image, you can clearly see the ones that happen to be in focus. My guess is that they are constant (maybe age-old) companions of the bison.

Bison bison -- mother & calf
Our passage through Custer State Park in the South Dakota Black Hills was halted by this bison herd. It's believed that most bison in the US today are not pure bred. In the late 1800's to early 1900's the species was hunted almost to extinction. The remaining remnant was cross bred with domesticated cattle in attempts to tame the unruly beasts. It was abandoned - impossible to tame. Unfortunately even this free ranging wild herd is not genetically pure.
A ranger told us the Bison rut was over. Apparently these two did not get the notice.

Yellowstone
Während der Bestand der Bisons vor der Ankunft der europäischen Siedler in Nordamerika auf rund 30 Millionen Tiere geschätzt wird, ging der Bestand bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts aufgrund exzessiver Bejagung dramatisch zurück. Dank der Gründung des Yellowstone-Nationalparks im Jahr 1872 erhielten die Bisons noch rechtzeitig Rückzugsgebiete. Heute wird die Herde der wildlebenden Tiere im Park auf mehr als 3.500 Individuen geschätzt. Die Art wird aufgrund ihrer Abhängigkeit von Schutzmaßnahmen und der nur geringen Zahl von Populationen als „potenziell gefährdet“ eingestuft.
Im Mai 2016 unterzeichnete Präsident Barack Obama den National Bison Legacy Act, der den Amerikanischen Bison neben dem Weißkopfseeadler zum Nationaltier der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika macht.
