As big and as beautiful Yellowstone is. It's just a tiny little piece of preserved nature, compared to what we have lost. It would be terrible if we had completely lost these piece of nature and these impressive animals. Thank you, Ulysses S. Grant! Thank you Joan for your great video! Big hugs!
Yes, I know what you mean. All around us, nature is losing out to our paved cities. A friend of mine who moved to Alberta said that she viewed Elk from her gallery. No wonder, they had built condos on what was pristine wilderness. I guess it's everywhere the same. Thank goodness for Yellowstone, little as it is. Thank you for your comments, mbhsug. Joan
Thank you, Rick, for your very thoughtful comments. Unfortunately the authorities in Yellowstone Park see fit to round up hundreds of these bison and send them off to slaughter because of the very strong cattle lobby who insist the bison are spreading brucellosis which is totally false. Joan
Such beautiful beasts they are! Thank You Ms Joan for sharing this video clip with me I much appreciate your kindness and I’m not sure you know but I just finished watching a large herd of wood bison being released in Alaska! A few years in the making! I love this animal and I hope they live long, happy lives,,,, A’ho
Magnificent, beautiful pictures. I liked best your zoom-out, includes the terrain. Also makes me think of a similar crossing across the Yellowstone, the Nee-Me-Poo made in 1877, when the USA army drove them from their homeland and hunted baby's, children, women, husbands and elderly. We have lost and are losing a lot of sustainably living creations. A recent Science paper mentioned the American bison as an important animal to store carbondioxide in the soil, through their grazing behaviour. Instead, cows erode the countryside. Thanks a lot for sharing your sighting with us. Good start of my day in Europe.
Yes, it is amazing that they can swim so well, given their tiny hooves and their hairy legs, but they seem to do it well. I am constantly in wonder of these great animals. Thank you, Bob Joan
I'm late to the party but your edited short film is truly remarkable. The bison are hard wired and must be searching for more suitable grazing. Bison are sturdy, determined, confident beasts. The flowing Yellowstone was a mere obstacle to be overcome and crossed. Remarkable film showing the complexity of nature. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jan. Yes I've seen some of those Wildebeest crossing rivers (on tv) and it was very spectacular also. No, there are no crocodiles in this particular park, thank goodness Joan.
Thank you Naturelover. Yes I saw that collar around one of the cows. I guess they want to keep tabs on where the animals are going and what they are doing. Joan
They are truly awesome animals. I loved the opening closeup where I could see the bison's tongue. They were slaughtered not only by civilians who sold the furs, but also by the U.S. Army under orders of General William Tecumseh Sherman.. Sherman reasoned that if the main food source of the plains Indians disappeared, the Indians would be easy to pacify.
Hi Jo, Yes, I knew about the slaughter of the Bison by the U.S. Army to bring the native population to its knees. I also knew about the slaughter at Wounded Knee. However the U.S. was not alone in its atrocities. Canada also committed some of its own. I'm thinking of Residential Schools and how they took children from their alcoholic parents and non-alcoholic parents and tried to turn them into little Christians. The Canadian government is trying to make amends but I don't think they are doing very well. Most native populations both in U.S and Canada are still living in reservations, a sad thought when you think they were here long before Europeans arrived. Well Jo, always nice to hear from you. I haven't had much time to check out videos in case you have uploaded any that I have not yet seen. Have a great week, Joan
Joan Ouellette Yes, their fate is sad. The plains they roamed are now used to feed cattle so the hundreds of millions of whites can have burgers. So it goes. I do have a new film up about a Cape May Warbler who showed up at our house on New Year's Day. He should have been in the Caribbean!
Jo Alwood Hi Jo, I've just seen your splendid film of the Cape May Warbler. I guess he means to stay since he's been with you for almost two weeks. Very lovely little bird Joan
What a sight! Such beautiful and majestic animals. Fantastic footage.

Awesome video of nature at its best. These are beautiful creatures that were meant to roam this land.
Thank you, Rick, for your very thoughtful comments. Unfortunately the authorities in Yellowstone Park see fit to round up hundreds of these bison and send them off to slaughter because of the very strong cattle lobby who insist the bison are spreading brucellosis which is totally false.
Joan
Oh my heaven's! I love this, thank you for sharing this! I love Bison :)
Amazing short film. You don't often do not envisage such magnificent creatures as these entering rivers.
Thank you for sharing greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much, Robert. I'm glad you liked the film. Bison are incredibly hardy creatures and endure much more than than this in the winter.
Joan

Judith, I'm with you in loving these beautiful bison. I'm glad Alaska is doing its bit in protecting them too.
Joan
Incredible, I did not know they could swim! Wonderful shots!
Yes, Annemieke, they are truly incredible animals and never cease to amaze me. Thank you.
Joan

Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Have a great week.
Joan
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thank very much for watching and commenting, Jeff.
Joan
Amazing that those massive animals can swim so well....and that the little ones just automatically know how to swim.
Yes, it is amazing that they can swim so well, given their tiny hooves and their hairy legs, but they seem to do it well. I am constantly in wonder of these great animals. Thank you, Bob
Joan
Wonderful shots !
Thank you, fuchsfilm. fpr your comments. Have a great week.
Joan
Joan Ouellette
Have a nice week, too.
Greetings

Wonderful !!! The extermination of the bison for their skin remains a big black spot in the history of America. A hug, Ezio
Yes, Ezio, and you can be sure that Buffalo Bill was no hero of mine. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hugs, Joan
Amazing power showed by those bisons!!!
***** Merci Gérard, je suis heureux que vous aimez la vidéo de mon amie Joan. Amicalement, Ezio
Thank you, Ezio. Somehow, my post to you got lost. Yes, a big black spot in the history of America.
Joan
Wow! Very impressive. First time I see that. Thanks!

Thank you very much, Dimi, but you are never late for this party. Yes, Bison are very hardy and, I must say, very beautiful too.
Joan
Fantasic river crossing. Very nicely filmed.
Reminds me of wilderbeasts crossing the mara river in Kenya. But here there are no crocediles. :)
Thank you Jan. Yes I've seen some of those Wildebeest crossing rivers (on tv) and it was very spectacular also. No, there are no crocodiles in this particular park, thank goodness
Joan.
majestic bombastic. these beasts look fantastic.
Thank you
Give me a home where the Buffalo roam. Magnificent animals!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes they are magnificent animals.
Joan
You're very welcome.
Great Footage. If i am not wrong few of them are having collar around the neck.
Have a nice day ;-) jai
Thank you Naturelover. Yes I saw that collar around one of the cows. I guess they want to keep tabs on where the animals are going and what they are doing.
Joan
Beautiful.
Wow! bison can swim. I see it First time
Yes, it's a wonder, for sure with their tiny hooves, but they sure can swim. Thank you for commenting.
Joan

hope no one ever tries to domesticate these beautiful creatures. they are wild for a reason.
Hello Colin. There's no chance of that although several breeders outside of the park have small herds. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Joan
Don't you mean the Snake River..? the river that travels through Yellow Stone park..?
No, Rob, it is the Yellowstone river...check out Google map. It's north of Alum creek with a pullout parking..
Joan
Maravilhoso esses gigantes .......
Thank you very much, Ana.
Joan
How come there are no predatory alligators in the Yellowstone river patiently waiting to attack the bison prey swimming across it?
Maybe the alligators don't like the snowy winters there, ha ha. Thanks for your comment.
Awesome.
Are the wood bison smaller than the great plains bison ? Great video ! Thank You for sharing !
Sorry James, but I really don't know. Maybe you could look it up online at maybe Wikipedia.
Joan
James Kelman nope they are larger.
“Bath time”
Ha ha, Jim, I guess it was.
Joan
Beautiful!
Thank you very much, Mike for watching and commenting.
Joan
When does Bison hunting season start in Yellowstone and do you have to draw tags what's the limit ?
Hunting is not permitted at any time in Yellowstone Park on any of the park's animals.
