During a quick two-hour trip into Wind Cave National Park that started just before sunset yesterday I ran across these critters.

bison Wind Cave National Park
You can call me the Bison Whisperer for getting this bison to pose by an interpretive sign in Wind Cave NP. I would have preferred for him to pose next to the Welcome to Wind Cave NP sign, but I settled for the interpretive sign. Photo by Bill Gabbert.
