Road hog


After several days of fruitless watching for animals that never appeared, we became cynical and mildly hostile to the road signs warning us that there were moose behind the bushes and elk at every turn. When the "Watch for bison on road" sign rolled past we snorted, only to come around the turn and find BISON in our lane. They were in no hurry to yield. This big boy has just moved to block traffic in the other lane.

Call me mis-informed, but I had no idea that bison were found as far north as Alaska! I thought they were exclusively great-plains creatures. Do they migrate further south in the winter?
