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

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!
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 cow bison totally closed the boardwalk at Biscuit Basin. I was on the side with the snowcoach and the driver, but the other four were stuck out there surrounded by thermals. Funny for awhile...but she really seemed to be enjoying herself!

Bisons do not roam free anymore.
Between 1872 and 1873, over three millions bisons were killed in the Great Plains for their hide, and their carcasses left to rot. Hunters broke the Treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek and encroached into "protected" Tribal land to slaughter the Big Beasts, thus ending the traditional way of life of the Plain Indians.
Nowadays, the value of the bison has been recognized and a few farms raise the once wild Tatanka.

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.....

Yellowstone's Lamar Valley has large roaming bison (American buffolo) herds. There was a black wolf roaming nearby. Not sure if these bison were reacting. Standing behind a vehicle as they approached.
