My favorite thing about Yellowstone National Park is by far the wonderful bison. They are very cool, and really just look like mythical animals. They roam all over the park, and even into Gardiner, the town at the north entrance.
This is the bison hanging around the town cafe in Gardiner. They are free to roam outside of the park in the winter and early spring.
Both males and females have horns on their heads, and the males can weigh upwards of 1000 pounds. They are literally everywhere in the park, and often will walk in the middle of the roads.
In late August and early September, the bison have the yearly "rut", where all the colonies get together, mate, and raise their young together.
When bison are born, they are a light brown, and they darken over time.
