The bison herd's personalities

The bull...

is quite shy and cautious but the females are helping him feel comfortable in his new home. The herd routinely eat together nose-to-nose, and the bull runs to the matriarch if he feels threatened or the younger females are picking on him. Female 1 has taken a particular shine to the bull, often following him around and checking on him if he is hanging back from the herd.

Female 2...

the mother of the calf - is feisty and confident. She is a caring and protective mother and we are beginning to see sparks of her fiery spirit in her calf.

Female 1... 

affectionately known as “one horn” by the team – is shy, inquisitive and the perfect auntie. She adores the calf and is often seen licking and playing with her.

Meanwhile, the calf continues to grow on a daily basis and her mischievousness almost matches her appetite. She loves to play and bound around with her mum and auntie, with lots of naps to recharge and give mum a well-earned rest.
