Oh, give me a home...



That's right. Those are baby buffalos. With their momma buffalos. Or buffalo. Or, more correctly, perhaps, "bison."

Here at the lab, we have our very own herd of american buffalo. I ride past them every morning & evening on my bike. Apparently, they are very special: They "have a reputation for being large and healthy animals and are much sought after by breeders."

Also, they are cute.



This baby is only a few hours old -- it still had its umbilical cord hanging off of it when it stood up. It was amazing to me how well it could walk and even trot a bit alongside its mother... go, buffalos.  ¶ 10:33
