We love this National Park and all its rugged beauty. It never fails we see all the different wildlife when we either hike or do the scenic drive. The bison are always a favorite. Remember though that you never approach the wildlife. In this video I was zooming in AND we were in our truck. They are definitely unpredictable and you are in their space so give them space. 📍Theodore Roosevelt National Park scenic loop, Medora, ND #bison #theodorerooseveltnationalpark #wildlife #visitusaparks #yournationalparks
