Bison Calves Nap on Yellowstone Lawn, Delight Onlookers

MAMMOTH, WYOMING – Visitors to Yellowstone National Park's Mammoth area were treated to an extraordinary sight recently as a herd of bison, including several young calves, chose a grassy lawn near park buildings for their afternoon nap. The peaceful scene, captured from inside a nearby structure, showcased the remarkable coexistence of wildlife and human activity within the iconic national park. The video, shared widely online, depicts adult bison and their lighter-furred calves resting calmly on the verdant grass, seemingly undisturbed by their proximity to park facilities. One observer commented, "That’s the Mammoth area of the Park where the administrative offices are located. That is a normal day with both Bison and Elk roam. Loved working there!!" Another noted the protective nature of the mothers, quipping, "Those mama's thinking 'I dare you to open that door and wake these kids up...'" The serene moment serves as a powerful reminder of Yellowstone's wild essence, where iconic species like bison continue to roam freely, even in areas frequented by visitors and park staff. The sight of these majestic animals, especially the vulnerable calves, finding comfort in such an unexpected spot highlights the unique natural wonders preserved within the park's boundaries.
