Whether scratching an itch, trying to remove flies and ticks, showing off during the rut, or just for fun, bison seem to get lots of enjoyment and satisfaction from rolling around in the dirt. This youngster spent several minutes having a great time getting dusted up before racing off to rejoin the herd.
It will be great to see these beasts back in Banff National Park in the near future.

Glad you are back!
He is a cutie!
Oh wow how cute! And quite an amazing animal. Love this.
Thanks Phil! They certainly have lots of character.
That’s a great shot. Do you know when they are supposed to arrive?
Thanks Lyle. I believe the plan is to bring them down from Elk Island in 2017.
I love these photographs of the baby bison. I would love to purchase two of your photographs, the baby bison chewing on the straw and the bison bathing himself. Please let me know how I could go about doing this. thank you
Thanks Kate! I will send you an e-mail to get your order started. Cheers, Owen
