Those pictures are totally awesome! Great shots of nature that most people will never see.

In the words of james herriot "if you can't catch it, there is probably nothing terribly wrong with it" . I just figure that it must have had some life in it yet if it was able to get out of that perdiciment and it seems a pity to go out of the frying pan into the fire. But hey, if the sparrows are in His hands, so are the buffalos...er, i guess that would be bison.

Wow, puts a whole new perspective on fast food!!!

I love the shot with the bear having all four feet off the ground. What an amazing and wonderful thing to see.

We were at Yellowstone last August and have pics of a bison walking, actually plodding, down the middle line of the road with cars passing on each side (with everyone taking pics as they passed by, including us). The bison in the news pics was probably wondering where all the cars were because that grizzly would have been run-over by on-coming traffic. When we saw the hoof prints around some of the really hot thermal areas, I wondered how many animals got hurt by breaking through the crust and now know of at least one. Those burns look really bad, the article doesn't say but perhaps the bison was down on the ground by the time the Park Service found it so the decision was made to end it's suffering. The article doesn't say that the bison was removed, perhaps it was a meal(s) for many animals (just not where the public would see it). It took us 50+ years to see Yellowstone and I'd go again if the list of other places I want to see wasn't so long. I recommend it to everyone every chance I get.

I agree that is an awesome picture!​

Several traffic law infringements there. I hope the police booked the cooked bison before he was dispatched.

Seriously, great pics. Pity the poor suffering bison and good to see that the authorities took the trouble to catch up and put him out of his misery.

Indeed.

Exactly. I always feel sorry for the prey though.

I know its nature, but I still feel for them.
