Red dog crew, admiring the sunset view ...
In Lamar Valley, two red dogs—newborn bison calves (Bison bison)—met nose-to-nose in sunset's golden glow, their rust-colored coats shining against the prairie. The brief encounter captured a timeless Yellowstone moment, where curiosity and innocence shared center stage beneath a fiery sunset sky.
A newborn bison calf is affectionately called a "red dog" because of its bright reddish-orange coat; it can stand and run within just a few hours of birth to keep up with the herd and avoid predators!
