5-24. Grizzly Bear vs Bison at Hayden Valley
Hayden Valley是公園裡相對容易看到grizzly bear與wolf的地方,但這不表示隨時經過就看得到,大部分的時候,經過這地方看到的大都是比較尋常的bison與Canada geese這水鳥。
Figure 5-24.1: 一隻bison與一隻grizzly bear。
Figure 5-24.2: 這隻grizzly bear一直在地上找東西吃。
Figure 5-24.3: 看起來略有稚氣,還是一隻未成年的grizzly bear。
Figure 5-24.4: 正值壯年的bison。
Figure 5-24.5: 現場遊客與他們的距離。
Figure 5-24.6: 不久後grizzly bear逃走,這隻bison也坐下來反芻。
2024年七月初第一次經過這時就看到路邊一大堆停車,順著大家看的方向看到一隻遠方的grizzly bear,根據經驗判斷只有二或是三歲。後來的一兩天又經過這幾次,一樣看到一堆路邊停車,但因為熊的距離還是很遠就只是drive through而不停。不過另一天一大早經過這地方時,發現熊直接在路邊,剛好又有個pullout可以停,就花了些時間在這。
這是不是就是幾天前遠方看到的那隻未成年grizzly bear?雖然未必,但有極高的機會是同一隻。就欣賞的角度來說,這也不重要,重要的是夠近,而且它一直在原地找東西吃,一點都不在意旁觀的人。雖然整個過程裡並沒有看到特別的事,但可以近距離好整以暇欣賞grizzly bear一段時間也算是個不小的確幸。
很早的時候我就看到這隻熊附近的一隻bison,我跟旁邊的一個人說如果這隻牛走到熊的附近就有趣了,不久後這隻bison果然邊走邊吃朝著這隻grizzly bear走過來,在相隔一段距離後停下來,於是牛跟熊互看對方,時間也瞬間凍結。我期待之後會發生更有趣的事,但這隻熊顯然受到牛的驚嚇,決定腳底抹油逃跑,結束了這場遭遇。
牛跟我們這幾個人距離這隻熊的距離差不多,有趣的是,熊覺得牛比人可怕。這並不是隻正值壯年的grizzly bear,跟成年牛比起來小了一號。不過即使是壯年的grizzly bear,只要這是隻健康的bison,對熊依然無須畏懼。在Yellowstone的野生動物裡,bison才是王者,不是grizzly bear。
