Yellowstone Bison Rut

In honor of our National Mammal, enjoy this Yellowstone bison rut footage from our 2020 Virtual Roadshow. The bison rut takes place in July and August. After a bull has proven through face-offs that he is strongest, he focuses on females. The ritual of the rut helps ensure the survival of the fittest, earning a bull the chance to ask for a female's acceptance as mate. He remains with a mixed cow-calf group, tending to the females and warding off competitors. A bull must continuously defend "his" females from opportunists. Once a cow buffalo accepts a bull, the two will stay close throughout the remainder of the rut. Learn more and get involved in Saving the Yellowstone Buffalo!
