3-25 SS Griz Bison
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – You have to go to aginfo.net to see pictures but I’m gonna tell a story.The man responsible for snapping the dramatic photographs of a bison being chased by a grizzly bear has surfaced, providing 14 more pictures and the end to the tale. Alex Wypyszinski had just dropped off his wife at work and had a few hours to kill one morning last April. Alex says he likes to spend his free time in the morning snapping photos of wildlife in the park. Of course, he usually has to search the animals out.
It all started when he was driving in the Fountain Flats area when he heard an unusual sound. Alex thought it was a horse and carriage. By the time he turned around, two fuzzy brown images were racing quickly toward him.
He pulled out his camera quickly, thinking he was going to catch two moose racing down the highway and quickly learned he was mistaken. It was a bison, badly burned from an encounter with one of the numerous hot spots in Yellowstone National Park. That sight was rare enough, but what he saw next was once in a lifetime.
A grizzly was chasing the buffalo and gaining quickly.
