I photographed this photo of Bison at Yellowstone National Park in August of 2021 when my family and I took a two-week road trip to several national parks. We visited this park near the end of our road trip after visiting the mighty 5 parks in Utah. It is a really interesting fact to learn that Yellowstone is the only place in the United States where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. While visiting the park I saw more bison than I have ever seen before, so I can definitely believe this fact to be true.
Photo of two Bison at Yellowstone National Park
This photo was taken in the afternoon on summer afternoon in Yellowstone Park. One of the bison in this picture is just a calf while the other one is foreground is full grown. The two bison in this photo are roaming the land near a river.

Whenever you are near a hot spring, such as this one, you must be very cautious. Hydrothermal water can severely burn people and animals.
Camera Settings for Bison at Yellowstone Picture
This Bison at Yellowstone National Park picture was photographed with a telephoto zoom lens, the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3, so I was able to get a semi close picture of the bison even though I was farther away.

The first wild animal we saw in Yellowstone National Park was in fact a bison. We visited during the summertime when there were a lot of people, but there was still also a lot of bison roaming around.
