When we came back from town today, back home to the North Rim, the beefalo were out there again, on the side of the road. Today, some were walking in the road, some were just standing there on the side of the road, and others were in the meadow on both sides of the road. Most of the tourists were just stopping to take pictures, but I had groceries to put away. FabGrandpa slowed down to a crawl and just kept going. These two bad boys just stared and grunted at us. I wouldn’t want to be walking, that is for sure….
We have buffalo up around where I am too. A Jackson traffic jam is caused by the animals and picture takers here rather than an accident. Courting seems to be starting and I sure would not want to be out of a vehicle around these big guys, especially this time of year.
These look friendly enough, however I wouldn’t walk the road, let alone stop and get out of my car to take pictures. I think I might have hitched a ride through here. It is hard for me to imagine this when we don’t have any large game on the Island. Some day my travels will take me to your fabulous places and I’ll see this first hand.
Almost forgot, You bet I’d be scared of these things.
Let’s just say I would not get out to greet them! They look pretty intimidating.
