This morning, as we were driving into the park from our campground, we saw a back-up of cars ahead. We figured it must be elk since they graze in the area, or Jeff thought it might be an eagle. He hoped it was a bear.
It turned out to be a bison on the side of the road, and cars were slowing down to take its picture. The bison kept going as if it didn't notice all the cars.
Then, the bison walked up onto the road and actually got into the line of cars, walking in the center of the right lane in line with the cars heading into the park. It was like he thought he might join this herd of strange-looking animals with wheels and see where it took him. Some drivers who were impatient passed the bison on the left when no cars were coming in the other direction. Eventually, the bison got off the road, and then we saw there was one more ahead of him on the side of the road moving along with the traffic.
Interesting start to the day...
