American Bison / Buffalo - male (large) and female (smaller) in rut. The bull enters the matriarchal herd and displays "flehmen" and "tending behavior".
Wyoming, USA
Bison bison
Flehmen consists of curling the lip back and extending the neck and is thought to enhance the sense of smell. He "tends" a female by remaining between her and the herd in an attempt to keep the cow isolated. Inhabits plains - prairies and river valleys and sometimes forests. Grazes on grasses, sedge and forbs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Love is in the Air: Bison Edition! Check out this incredible print capturing a male and female bison during their rutting season in Wyoming, USA. These magnificent creatures, commonly known as buffalo, are the heaviest land mammals in North America, with males weighing up to a whopping 2000 pounds! But it's not just their size that makes them fascinating. The bull in this picture is displaying some serious courtship moves. With his lip curled back and neck extended in a behavior called flehmen, he enhances his sense of smell to pick up on any romantic signals from the female. And what's even more adorable? He's "tending" her by positioning himself between her and the rest of the herd, trying to keep her all for himself. Talk about dedication! These bison inhabit plains, prairies, river valleys, and sometimes even forests. They graze on grasses, sedge, and forbs while vocalizing their communication skills. It's no wonder these majestic creatures nearly went extinct due to hunting back in 1894. Thankfully Congress stepped in and passed the National Park Act to protect them. So if you're looking for a stunning piece of nature art that showcases love conquering all obstacles (even among bisons), look no further than this print by John Cancalosi.
