Today's Smile Post-Bison Watering Hole
(Note from Dinar Recaps - With everything bad happening around us these days, we are starting a daily post, with a glimmer of hope, or distraction for a few minutes. Leave comments below if you have some good ideas for additional posts. If you like these videos consider bookmarking this page.)
This camera is located near a natural spring along Grasslands National Park's Ecotour road in the west block near Val Marie, Saskatchewan. Watch as bison and other animals visit the hole for a refreshing drink (or dip!).
Grasslands National Park is one of the few remaining natural grasslands in North America, a testament to the prairies as they existed for millennia before they were turned under by the settler's plough.
Here visitors really can watch the buffalo roam, the deer and the antelope play. The park has plains bison, swift fox and is home to Canada's only black-tailed prairie dog colonies, a keystone prairie species. Viewers can wander through a black-tailed prairie dog colony, where these cute creatures, known for their distinctive barks and yips, groom, frolic and carry on with their business, while often providing food for predators such as coyotes, badgers and various birds of prey.
