Bison (i.e. the American Buffalo)

A couple of second year bulls doing a little head-butting at Antelope Island SP.

Don't let the fence fool you, these are truly wild bison who had wandered into an area typically full of people visiting the park. It was a cloudy and slightly wet day so not many people visiting the park and nobody at the ranch museum, not even staff. I walked past the ranch museum to the birding area and rounded a bend in the trail only to see a very large bison less than 20 meters away. I quickly removed myself from the area and then saw these two about 40 meters away in the pasture. I quickly set the tripod down and framed up a couple shots before going back to the car.

Bisons on the move. Quick shots out of the car window. No way to park the large RV in both cases - did not want to obstruct traffic for any length of time.
