It is a very nice park that acts as a refuge for Elk, Plain bison and Wood bison. We had never heard of a Wood bison. They are larger than their cousin Plain bison and tend to hand out in the woods. The two species are kept separated because the park service is trying to keep the Wood bison line pure.
Even though it is called Elk Island NP we saw no elk that day. We did see several plain bison.
This one walked about 15 feet from the car. I was standing with my head out the sunroof while Diana leaned out the window for some pics.
