This old couple had a good workout swimming across Yellowstone's Firehole River. Needed a rest before they slowly moseyed on.
Sorry there aren't any Buffalo in America....:
"It’s easy to understand why people confuse bison and buffalo. Both are large, horned, oxlike animals of the Bovidae family. There are two kinds of bison, the American bison and the European bison, and two forms of buffalo, water buffalo and Cape buffalo. However, it’s not difficult to distinguish between them, especially if you focus on the three H’s: home, hump, and horns.
Contrary to the song “Home on the Range,” buffalo do not roam in the American West. Instead, they are indigenous to South Asia (water buffalo) and Africa (Cape buffalo), while bison are found in North America and parts of Europe. Despite being a misnomer—one often attributed to confused explorers—buffalo remains commonly used when referring to American bison, thus adding to the confusion.
Another major difference is the presence of a hump. Bison have one at the shoulders while buffalo don’t. The hump allows the bison’s head to function as a plow, sweeping away drifts of snow in the winter. The next telltale sign concerns the horns. Buffalo tend to have large horns—some have reached more than 6 feet (1.8 meters)—with very pronounced arcs. The horns of bison, however, are much shorter and sharper. And, if you want to throw a B into the mix, you can check for a beard. Bison are the hipsters of the two animals, sporting thick beards. Buffalo are beardless." Britannica.com

One of the things I miss about my once frequent trips to South Dakota is seeing the buffalo (American Bison). Majestic beasts.

This mother buffalo, or bison, is guarding three young ones (you can see the backside of the calf that is mostly hidden). There are only 2 species of buffalo left -- one that roams the steppes of Europe and Asia and the American Bison, indigenous to Canada and the US. It was going extinct in North America until farmers realized they could make money raising them on the plains or prairies. Did you know that buffalo are sometimes bred with domestic cattle to produce fertile offspring called beefalo or zubron? Taken at African Lion Safari, Cambridge, Ontario.

The Buffalo Savings Bank is a historic building in Buffalo, New York, USA. Constructed between 1899 and 1901, it is a prominent example of Beaux-Arts architecture. It was designed by architect Edward B. Green. The building served as the bank's headquarters until the 1970s, with its most notable feature being the gilded dome that crowns the structure. In 1976, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Due to its elegance and iconic dome, it is one of Buffalo's most recognizable landmarks. Today, it is known as the Goldome or Gold Dome Bank. In the late 20th century, the building was restored and repurposed for commercial and office use, adapting to new functions while retaining its original grandeur.
Straight off, I'll be honest with you: I don't know if this is Buffalo Pass at all. Buffalo Pass. The name is quite ironic: I doubt any buffalo ever passed that way! Surely an average buffalo has more sense than me, as will soon become apparent.
Going over Buffalo Pass isn’t like going over the edge of the Niagara Falls. It is a gradual, painful process, quite akin to passing a kidney stone. How is that, you ask? Well, suffice to say that the last 6 miles getting to/past Buffalo Pass (who the hell knows - the passing of Buffalo Pass cannot be perceived by any of the senses), I repeat, the last 6 miles getting to/past Buffalo Pass took an hour and a half, during which our rental Jeep (Grand Cherokee XL, for the record) bottomed out at least three times and we managed to get overtaken six times by the same misearable mountain biker who’s sole aim in life seemed to have been to, you guessed it, get to Buffalo Pass!
But hey, some nightmares have a happy ending. On the way down from Buffalo Pass (though for all I know we may been still passing through it - the bumps in the road sure did not make it feel it was otherwise, and if I didn’t have brain damage before that, I do now!)…… the view opened up.
I slammed on the Jeep's breaks (Grand Cherokee XL, for the record), snapped up my camera, exploded through driver side door so fast that the dust had barely started to settle, and click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click….I shot this panorama, without a thought given to composition, focus or whether I would get a single like on Flickr. If there is a photographers' Heaven - I was in it!
Buffalo Pass? I love it! ❤
The Buffalo Fork River is a tributary of the Snake River and part of it forms a boundary of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. It has a reputation as a great place to fish, but the water is extremely low now. I liked the view of this huge s-curve and neighboring ranches.
The Cape Buffalo (Syncerus Caffer Caffer) is a large, dark brown to black hoofed mammal with drooping fringed ears and large curved horns. Approximately 425 to 900 kg (935 to 2000 lbs.) From eastern and southern Africa. African buffalo are formidable animals on account of their large size, large herds, and large horns. Herds will stick together and may charge as a unit when threatened, a tactic which ensures that predators have difficulty preying on even young and feeble animals.
The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.

This buffalo was chilling at the edge of the road in Custer Park. I managed to get this shot in my vehicle. Took it back to Lightroom to work out the shadows and highlights on this one.
