Photo By Sumi Das

“During Christmas and New Year’s of 2020-2021, I was visiting Yellowstone National Park with the hope that I’d get to photograph wolves,” explains Sumi Das. “Well, that wish was hard to come by despite our weeklong stay in the park. After spending a whole day driving up and down the Lamar Valley, as we were exiting the park, I saw a bison herd crossing the road, causing a traffic jam. I looked out through the window and saw two young bison start nudging each other in a playful way. I quickly rolled down the window to take this shot.”
