TRNP day two
The next morning, I was in the park before 6 am and saw much wildlife. But, I was surprised to see that the prairie dogs were not even up yet. Lazy dogs….
You can see I got many shots of bison, and a bison and a wild horse seemingly sharing the same territory very peacefully. And, the highlight, watching a herd of bison ford the Little Missouri river. So similar to watching elephants do that in Africa, but here in ND!
Wow, this reminded me of driving in Krueger Park in South Africa. Come around a bend and a very large animal is staring at you. And, remember, these guys are never in a good mood. He never moved. Just stared at me as I very slowing went by.
Shot quickly from an open car window. 10′ away.
Exotic erosion sculpture.
Flecks of iron everywhere.
Shot one of 3. Bison grazing peacefully below the road near a watering hole.
Scene 2 of 3. Wild horse approaching watering hole where bison looms.
Shot 3 of 3. What will happen as the invading horse moves in for a drink? Well, nothing. I guess they are Ok with each other.
Typical scenery in the park.
The bison herd starts across the Little Missouri river.
Mostly done, just two stragglers.
