Yellowstone N.P. Part 2: Animals Big and Small

While in Yellowstone we saw LOTS of animals. Driving just about anywhere we saw bison, bison and more bison. In fact, in Montana it's big news about the bison that are getting outside the park because the risk spreading bruscelossis (a disease) to the cattle population. So they've been "hazing" the buffalo, flying helicopter and such to herd them back into the park. Here's some of the pics we got of the buffalo:

Oh NO! Trouble in Blogland...... pictures aren't loading right now. SO, I'm off to work this evening and next. Check back on Monday for the continuation of the Yellowstone story. Sorry!

EDIT 6/4/07: Hopefully my computer will cooperate today....let's see where was I...oh the huge buffalo. Here's a shot of some buffalo by the Madison River.

some of the buffalo were huge. here's a picture of one of the biggest that we saw.
