Despite all the craziness of this year, we are sometimes blessed with moments of incredible beauty. On Horse Butte a group of 15 buffalo, including two newborn calves, were grazing in the housing area. One mom and baby drifted apart from the herd. A lone wolf saw the opportunity and advanced toward the calf. The rest of the buffalo saw what was going on and quickly headed towards the mom and baby. The buffalo then surrounded the calf while several other buffalo ran the wolf away.
