Rolling bison bull creates a cloud of dust

When you have an itch and you can’t reach it, you may just take it to extremes. Going back to last month for this series.

The herd was on the move and a good number of the bison would stop briefly to wallow in the dirt. Being one of the biggest, this guy created quite a cloud of dust in doing so. Bison do this for a number of reasons including to scratch. With the rut approaching, bulls also do it as a display of strength. No matter the reason, seeing such a big beast awkwardly roll around is kind of amusing.
