I promised you another animal and here it is! We had barely started our drive around the National Bison Range when out of nowhere came a bear. We made our first turn and there were two cars stopped in the road. Three people were out of their cars taking pictures.
I of course took a picture too, which has been cropped, so it looks like we were closer than we actually were. In my case, my son taught me long ago that you don’t get out of your car. Animals can move VERY quietly and VERY quickly.
This bear was right in front of everyone, but behind those standing in the road was a hill with lots of brush in front of it. You never know when an animal is going to come up from behind you and that could be the last picture you ever take.
So true about not getting out of the car to take pictures. I can’t believe how naive some people are about getting close to wild animals. Glad you are more sensible.

Heel verstandig van je.Ik zag hetzelfde ooit in Wyoming op weg naar Coodt.Plots dook voor ons een beer op met 3 jongen die de weg overstaken.In de auto voor os gingen met mensen uit de wagen en dichter naar de beer toe om een foto te nemen.Wij dachten die worden zodadelijk verscheurd en wij stonden achter hun auto maar waren ziet zo dom.E(r stopte nog een wafgen achter ons.De beer schrok enkeek in de richting van de mensen op de baan maar stak de baan verder over met zijn 3 jongen, en verdween nadie in de diept naast de weg.Wat een domme mensen toch! wij waren opgelucht toen we verder konden en geen getuigen waren geweest van de aanval van de beer.

Ik kan me niet voorstellen hoe eng dat was! Ik weet zeker dat ik volledig getraumatiseerd zou zijn als ik ooit een aanval zou zien.

A fox, a bison and now a beautiful bear, I am waiting for the next post, what will we see.
I have never seen a bear in the nature, even though we have tryid. Once we spent the whole light summer night by a huge big, but no bears.

I’m afraid I might be all out of creatures, although I do have an antelope…I could share that with you!
It’s the first time I’ve seen a bear that close and I’ve only seen one once before. That was a mother and her three cubs, but they were very, very far away.
