Very Near To Bison. 

I saw bison far away and then I saw them very close from the car. I learned that bison weigh about 2,000 pounds. I weigh 47 pounds and 2,000 is a lot more. 

Sometimes people think that because bison move slowly when they are just walking around, that they are like cows. They are not! They can run very fast toward you and that is called charging. I also learned that they can be something called aggressive. Aggressive means the opposite of gentle and it is kind of like an attack. They only act that way if they feel like you are too close or bothering them. These are wild animals and they are big. 

Bison eat grass and they eat a lot of it. The whole time I watched them they were eating. I was close enough (in the car) to hear their mouths ripping up the grass. Then later they all started to scratch themselves on fence posts.

Because these bison are wild, that means they can roam around and do what they want to do inside the National Park. This National Park is not very crowded so there were only some people. I saw more bison than people.

Bison are big and their poop is big too. Poop is called scat. If you are a ranger, you call it scat and not poop.
