Cute Little Bison by laurentye

Cute Little Bison

Okay so maybe these aren't the cutest creatures on the planet. But I thought this little guy was sort of cute, happily eating his grass without a care in the world. To me, they are sort of adorable in a funny looking way...

I spent the day with my sister and her fiance hiking around Elk Island Park, which is what my sister wanted to do for her birthday. I had never been there before and when she told me she wanted to go there I expected a little relaxing walk around and then leave. We ended up walking for hours and it was really quiet and relaxing. There were several small lakes and trails...and lots of these Bison!

Overall it was really fun. Though, next time I would not wear a wool sweater while hiking in 24 degree celcius...
What a fantastic find! Love it and a fav!

Looks like he's shedding his winter coat as well.

Little guy? I've never seen a bison that was little. Even the babies seem huge.

@webfoot haha okay, maybe not so little! i did see some cute baby bison too frolicking (hmmm, maybe more like slowly walking) in the grass!
