Field Trip

Today we went on a very fun field trip with some of the other families from our co-op to Big Bone Lick State Park. Our guide taught the kids three different sessions on Bison, Animal Tracks, and Survival in the Wild. 

 

I was surprised to learn that Bison are quite dangerous.  They do NOT like anyone or thing in their territory and will quickly charge to eliminate it.  And the fact that they can weigh up to a ton, run 40 mph (humans can’t run that fast, even Olympics competitors), and can leap over 6 foot….I wouldn’t get in their space.  Bisons are primarily all muscle that is how they are so powerful.
