On a chilly fall morning, this massive bull bison lets out a loud bellow. Although this intimidating call is no doubt directed at another bison in the vicinity, it serves as a strong reminder that these animals are not the gentle, easy going creatures that many perceive them to be. Bison often seem tame and unconcerned. To conserve energy, they generally move at a gentle, slow and deliberate pace, giving off the impression that they are harmless. Make no mistake. This perception is far from reality. The biggest bulls can weigh in at over a ton. They can run more than twice as fast as you, and those horns are not for show. Although bison pose no threat to humans unless provoked, their calm demeanor will often put unsuspecting tourists, eager for a close up snapshot, in very dangerous situations. These beautiful symbols of the American West should always be viewed from a respectable distance.

He's pretty. There is a place down the road from where I live where they have a bison in their field. Unfortunately he hardly ever gets close to the fence so I can't get good photos of him.

There is a guy down the road from where I live that owns a bison. He comes right up to the fence he'll eat right out of your hand. I've got a picture of him somewhere. It is cool to be able to see one of these beasts up close but I'm glad there is a fence between me and him and I'd never go near one in the wild.

It's sad that some people think an animal that is big means it is slow. Especially in the case of bears.
I've never seen a bison outside of the tv and photos, but I'd definitely be intimidated by them!
I love the orangish color and dust floating in the picture, it's so.. wild west XD

aFeinPhoto-com [2010-10-30 23:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Epic conditions. Great shot. Maybe a taaaaad less tight to get the top of the horn not cut off

That is beautiful--it look almost like a painting. I love when photos take on the textural life of another medium without losing the effect of being a photograph. Outstanding capture!
