FEELIN' FRISKY
Friends of mine who live in the Horse Butte area 8 miles outside the town of West Yellowstone, had this picture on their Facebook page today. I have their permission to use this photo in my post.
The area of Horse Butte is one of the traditional birthing grounds for the bison. The people who live on Horse Butte are quite often treated to scenes like the one in the photo above.
Notice the color of these baby bison. When they are born they are a reddish orange color. Visitors to our area during this time of the year often ask the locals why those little red dogs are in among the bison! If you have never seen them before, you might be asking the same question. As they grow older, of course, their coats darken.
