Like sands through the hourglass… so are the Days of Bison Rut. 🦬 Bison rut (breeding season) is always entertaining and is in full swing at Northwest Trek. Massive bulls bellow and roar while looking for their perfect match. Once a bull has found a female, he will stay by her side and court her until she is ready to mate. | Northwest Trek Wildlife Park

The bison breeding season (or rut) has begun, and you can actually see the fur fly! Males will fight for dominance and the chance to breed females. During the rut, males may go head-to-head in aggressive forms of bison socialization: head-butting, shoving, sizing up, and long stares. Ultimately, it will be the females who choose their mates. 📸 Video credit: Mallory Beckman, Crane Trust Range Technician | Crane Trust
