Rare white bison calf spotted in Yellowstone National Park



YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — A very rare sight captured on camera in Yellowstone National Park this week has the wildlife community buzzing.

The photos are of an extremely rare white bison calf in the Lamar Valley.

Kalispell photographer Erin Braaten snapped the photos while visiting the park with her family on Tuesday. The photos were taken just moments after the calf was born.

Braaten visits Yellowstone two or three times a year but has never stumbled upon anything like this.

So there could be some asshole who would just shoot it to be an asshole, not that Wyoming has the patent on that kind of behavior. It's more a regional thing.

Everybody who lives anywhere near the park should brace for 5 million visitors this year, maybe more.

Wish it had been on a rez somewhere so the crowds can be controlled.
