Buffalo Herd Babies

~ Buffalo herd with their new calves ~

The herd is very protective of their little ones and keep at a distance. When I first appeared with the camera, 6 adults immediately came forward to form a barrier between the herd and myself. When they saw I posed no threat, they slowly rejoined their herd mates.

    all animals love their babies, and are protective of them. We humans seem to forget that sometimes...
