Holy Crap, Bison!
We were driving north from the lake when traffic slowed to a crawl, then stopped altogether. There were flag people waving cars through at a snail's pace. At first, we thought it was road construction, and then after getting our permission to pass, we discovered the reason for the hold-up:

bison!

Couldn't stop, though, so I took pics from the car window.
Hello to you, too, Mr. Bison. This guy was seriously no more than five feet from the car. Which really wasn't so bad, becuase we were in the car, but then we stopped at the next feature and encountered-- --holy crap, what is he doing? No joke, we get out of the car, and this enormous bison comes sauntering across the parking lot. And there I am, in my bright red hoodie, snapping photos like there's no tomorrow. I might upload a video of him wandering past the car if bandwidth permits. Here's a picture for scale. See the X-Terra? See the bison? See the similarity in size? Yeaaah. Defiant pose. :o Another size reference. Do not, I repeat, do not mess with the buffalo. Remember, zoom lenses are your friend.
