It sure has been a hot summer here and this is what the bison do during the heat! It has been 30+ celsius for many days now with sign of it letting up and not a chance of rain either. Pretty much the whole province is on a level 4 drought warning and a 4 is the highest level of warning. NO campfires anywhere not even in controlled camping grounds as well many trails have been closed off to hikers, bikers even maintenance crews! We are in bad need of lots of rain. Another sign of no rain and high temperatures are reflected in the Oyster River in my backyard. Normally it is high and very cold as the water comes from the snow on the mountain which makes it cold. Right now it is quite low and is quite warm considering all!
The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and has made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.

A large herd of bison moving through Yellowstone National Park, WY. Took this shot from a respectful distance.
The Yellowstone herd is unique in the sense that they are still relatively wild (no inter-breeding with cattle) and occupy the only area in the United States that has continuously hosted bison herds for thousands of years.
It was a remarkable thing to witness from start to finish... This grizzly bear came over the rise beyond the river digging for roots. When he got wind of the carcass he made a beeline for the river and ate from every part of it over an hour's time. It was a privilege to behold this wild scene from just 175 yards away! Yellowstone National Park, Hayden Valley.
A lone Bison (sometimes known as buffalo) on a prairie, Utah, U.S.A. I never quite realized what massive creatures these animals were till I got so close. Thank God they were placid. I'd always just seen them on television in herds - but up close, they were something to behold and respect. Magnificent beast. I found something so wonderous in the size and strength.
