As with all animals, wild or domestic, skills practiced as youngsters are used as adults. These two bison calves play wrestle with each other and learn techniques and skills that they will use to defend themselves from predators or in battles with other bison during the breeding season. Play sessions also help develop muscle strength and agility also needed to survive. But watching bison calves at play is also just super fun. Bison can be dangerous, just as any wild animal can be, so don’t approach. If you check my caption, you’ll notice I was supporting the long lens I was using on a beanbag support. I place the beanbag over the open window of my vehicle and lay the lens over it to help provide a stable platform for photographing. When large animals are near, I’m able to stay safely in my vehicle and it also minimizes my disturbance of my subjects.
