Bathroom Break Anyone?


Here, the animals have the right-of-way and if this bison wants to hang out by the bathroom, we will let him!  It’s amazing how accustomed to us these animals have become.  However, despite their docile appearance, these are deemed the most dangerous animals in the park.  We saw this first hand as we watched a wolf wander too close to a bison calf.  These 2,000-pound animals can run 30 miles an hour.  We were there just as the spring babies were being born across the whole animal kingdom.  This makes the animals more aggressive than usual as newborns provide good food for those up the food chain.
