American Bison on Cool Morning
This American bison is a massive bull in the reintroduced herd at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado. The majestic animals are the largest land animal in North America, but they were nearly driven to extinction. Conservation efforts like this are returning bison to the landscape they rightfully belong on.
