Bison prophecy, fulfilled in Yellowstone!

BBC: Sacred buffalo calf offers hope amid efforts to revive species. A white (well, cream-colored) calf was born into the Yellowstone herd on June 4. "Many tribes consider a white bison birth to be a sacred omen that signifies change."

I hope for their sake it's a positive change...

But yay, baby buffalo!

Honestly, we could use more sacred omens.

Very nice. (And fuck open range cattle as a consideration when talking about native fauna or flora thriving.)

Yellowstone is one of the earth's great places. If you haven't visited, you should add it to your bucket list.
