American Bison (Bison bison)

[Tshokwane]

His deep breathing seemed strained and greedy. His sided were expanding and contracting faster than he wanted… with his mouth open. he was violently gasping for air ... he was tanked. There was a hint of tremor in his right hind leg, possible pulled muscle, or perhaps a dislocated left hip. His body was bruised and battered, an annual consequence of earning the right to mate.

His opponent was young, bold and unpredictably strong. He knew that the battle he barely won, would probably be his last…he gave it all…his offsprings will roam Yellowstone and over time will make him proud.
