Why did the bison cross the road? 🛣 To play their part in a healthy ecosystem, of course! 🙌 Since being reintroduced to prairie habitats like Riding Mountain National Park, bison have contributed to the life cycle of the prairie by foraging on grasses 🌾, creating wallows and trails 🐾 and adding nutrients to the soil and propagating seeds. Many Indigenous communities have also long held deeply cultural and spiritual connections with bison and rely on bison for food, shelter, trade, ceremonial purposes and more. 💚 If you come across one of these prairie ✨all-stars✨ on your visit to a #ParksCanada location, help us to #KeepWildlifeWild by keeping your distance and remaining in your vehicle. 🛑 📷: @takeapicturewontya . . . . . #RidingNP #ridingmountainnationalpark #ridingmountain #ExploreMB #manitoba #manitobaphotography #ExploreCanada #parkscanada #canada #wanderlust #travel #wander #nationalpark #travel #explorer #lovetotravel #travelmore
