I was glad I was inside my car when I saw these bison coming right at us. Some people think they are calm and tame like a domestic cow. They’re not! Bulls weigh up to 2,000 pounds and cows weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Since they can run up to 30 miles per hour, it’s best to keep your distance.
Here’s another post on them plus a link to more information. Bison Celebrating 4th.

Beautiful animals! :) (Buffalo Bill's defunct.)
Beautiful and dangerous!
Buffalo nurture my feelings of hope! Thank you for the image.
Glad to do that for you!
Imposing creatures, best treated with the requisite respect!
Yes, people get a little too close to them frequently. Not me!
People often think elk are tame also...a bad assumption.
You are right! Especially during rutting season.
Very true.
I like seeing bison. Nice picture!
Thanks! They are an impressive animal.
