Lone Bison Calf Is Looking Out For Mom. Stock Photo

Buffalo calf grazing along the road near Black Tail Plateau, in Yellowstone National Park. Early September coat shows a readiness for the coming winter months. Size and small horn nubs indicate an early spring born calf. The calf is looking for its mother to be sure she doesn't stray to far away. Grasses are very thin here and soon the herd will move dow in elevation to greener meadows along the river bottoms.
