On a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park, much of the park was still closed because of the harsh winter conditions and excessive snow from this year. This was my first time to visit the park and I was pretty excited. When I heard it was buffalo (bison) birthing season, I had hoped I would get to see a baby, from far away, of course. Bison are big animals and I had no desire to tussle with Mama Buff protecting her offspring.
As we drove through the Grand Loop, there was a long line-up of cars. We wondered what could possibly be causing the backup, during a weekday, not in high season. The sides of the road were still piled high with snow, and we thought perhaps someone had skidded off the road. Lo and behold, it was 3 adult bison escorting a baby down the road. He walked, wobbling along on his shaky legs, so we named him "Bobby McWobbleson." I submit the picture for your enjoyment.
