TATONKA The North American bison

The bison is the symbol of the Wild West: once huge herds of buffalo populated the North American continent and were the livelihood of the Indians - until the bison was almost exterminated by white buffalo hunters out of pure greed for profit. Thanks to the protection of Yellowstone National Park, large herds are once again roaming the plains and prairies of the west. Dieter-M. Wilczek - adventure photographer and close to nature - shows how these imposing animals develop again in their natural habitat: Mighty bulls - confident and aware of their strength, curious calves in the protection of the grazing herd in a magnificent landscape - unimpressed by geysers and visitors to the national parks. .. a unique natural spectacle.
