herd

Motorists driving through the Montana side of Yellowstone National Park encountered a bison herd protecting the calves by shielding them from traffic.

Yellowstone is a beautiful place to see nature in all its glory but sometimes it's kind of scary especially when you become a sitting duck to a herd of bison stampeding toward you!

This video starts out like any other elk video that I've shared recently but, it takes a turn when the camera pans left and we get to see an incredible sized herd of elk that any hunter would be proud to be this close to.

Officials say the plan includes putting 110 bison into brucellosis quarantine to produce disease-free bison.

It wasn't immediately clear when the council would make a decision.

That's 23 percent lower than the year before but higher than the 10-year average of 5,399 elk.
