Bison calves 1 are more independent of their mothers. The adults' focus is now set on a ruthless competition to mate. A male bids to enter a herd 2 with females in season. He uses dust to accentuate 3 all his size and power.
Another male already established in the herd, answers the display, and waits.
The newcomer responds by scent 4 marking and moving even closer.
This challenge can not be tolerated.
The resident male has won. Having seen off his rival, next summer's calves will likely be his-------victory in the dust of high summer. But now there's a larger challenge to the whole of Yellowstone. These clouds don't signal rain.
