Description
The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and has made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Their historical range roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains.

Lovely - it looks like a painting. Those huge beasts look so peaceful! You've captured so many tones in those shades of brown and green. V/Fav

Donna Greene replied:
Thanks so much Marie...There was a huge herd of them...most were a lot younger than these two and had wandered off as I crept up to photograph them. This two though just went about their business. It was great.

Donna, Amazing wildlife photo, love it, like the way the Bison are feeding and the time of day that you took this was perfect love that little bit of sun on the Bison to the right and the darker Bison fits in perfect. Your foreground and background is so clear and crisp and really gives the viewer the impression they are standing right there in the plains watching these amazing animals. I posted one Bison shot I took at the Queens Zoo and I tried to capture him right in the middle of the area to give it that natural look like this. Great job, voted, Tweet, Google and FB promoted

V27 Fantastic capture, excellent description. I love the quality of light you've got here, and the softness of the grasses against the bulk of the bison. Beautiful!
