Throwing Dirt
A large bull bison tosses dirt around with his head in a attempt to make him look intimidating. August in Yellowstone means mating season for bison, and the bulls are beginning to become more aggressive. This behavior, along with non-stop moaning and growling, chasing of females and fighting with other bulls is commonly seen throughout the sagebrush valleys within the park.
The American bison is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. Their range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains.
