There were about 4 babies in the herd I saw, and yes, they are the most adorable creatures. Then again, all baby animals are adorable (bears, buffalo, tigers, lions) but they lose their cuteness when they grow up and can kill you. Did you know buffalo have humps to counterbalance their enormous heads and that they can run up to 40 mph? Neither did I.

I actually think the adults are kinda cute in a "they're so ugly they;re cute" way.

farm
My auntie n uncle raise buffalo (in Alberta) & like most farms have feral cats. Whilst visiting them, they told us about how frightened the bison were of the cats! Hard to imagine but true!!!

I was so excited. I recently just saw a Spotted Owl sitting in a low branch just over my head during a late morning ride. I tried to take pictures with my cell phone but it just couldn't get a good pic due to the bright lighting.

I live in the city... in a not so great area. The wildlife I see is highly unusual and unique to areas like mine.
In the early morning - "Wild-haired, hot-pansed street walker" as they return to their dens
In the evening - "gaggles of baggy-jeans heat packing street pharmaceutical dealers"
Ride fast, don't stare.no regrets!
