The recent appearance of a rare white bison calf has excited wildlife watchers in Yellowstone National Park.
Bison are seen crossing a road in Yellowstone National Park, Thursday, June 13, 2024, near Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. Visitors have been trying to catch a glimpse of a rare white buffalo calf that was seen in the park earlier this month. – Standing at the edge of a bluff overlooking the Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park, TJ Ammond stared through binoculars at hundreds of buffalo dotting the verdant valley below.
They turned around and pulled over to watch and shoot photos of the calf with its mother for over half an hour. Word of the white buffalo has meanwhile spread far and wide. Ammond had heard about the white calf on The Weather Channel and was keen to see it on his family's trip to Yellowstone from Ohio.
For Yellowstone's dedicated wildlife watchers, a good look or photo of a wolf, grizzly — or especially an elusive wolverine or lynx — makes for a good day in the field. A glimpse of the white bison calf would be the privilege of a lifetime.
