I can't stop being amazed at the ability of these bisons to withstand such cold climate. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

super shot! I would just be confused with so many whites in a scene ;)
you can feel the cold emanating from this...

[Ken Watkins]

That looks really cold, vey evocative it reminds me of the old B & W pictures of the Wild West we used to get in magazines when I was a child (a long time ago!) Great stuff!

[Vivek Khanzode]

It is amazing that these beasts could tolerate such cold climes...the shot definitely conveys it.

On a similar note, the Indian Bison (Gaur) looks similar, except has much less hair. The hair must be trapping air to keep the animal insulated from the cold...

Charles, I like the frontal shot you have presented elsewhere better, although this one is good too.

Thanks for sharing.

[David Fletcher]

Fabulous demonstration of insulation Chas. This is good in it's difference, but also prefer your head on shot.

[Rich Ikerd]

That looks just way too cold to survive! Excellent example of Mother Nature's ability for her animals to survive even the harshest of conditions.

[Steve Canuel]

I'm liking how the little creek comes into and then back out of the frame and how it provides a path for the bison to enter the pic. The rest of it is pretty good too.
