Thank you, Deborah, Bobbie, and Perry!!!

Perry, I'm glad my photo reminded you of something you enjoy, but I prefer the natural and wild fighting my self. These guys were part of a wild herd of bison at Yellowstone National Park. They were continually scuffling, but were really more play fighting than real fighting. They were both young bulls and there was no way they'd win in a real fight against the dominant bulls. The dominant bulls were snuffing and grunting at each other, but I didn't get to see any real fights.
