Buffalo

The highlight of visiting Yellowstone for us has to be the buffalo. They are amazingly huge creatures, yet they "seem" pretty docile. They told us at the gate not to get too close to them because they can charge.....and lets just say that would not be good. They are over 2000lbs each. It didn't take long for us to come across our first one and we were all in AWE. The kids were amazed and Nana wanted to get out and get a picture right away. It was her first time to the park. Ummm, she didn't really heed the 25ft warning the park worker gave us....She & Ryan were so close to the buffalo that people in their cars were telling me that she should move. Ah well, we got a great picture and Nana wasn't eaten by the buffalo so were all good. The week after we got home from our trip we heard that a buffalo charged a little boy....the boy was safe but the video on YouTube was pretty scary eeeek! When we were leaving the park we saw the buffalo in the last picture, literally on the side of the road, he was HUGE.  He started moving a bit and you could see how ginormous these animals are, every part of his body took effort to move.  They are truly amazing animals.
