Rut season is back and the bison are hot and bothered. From now until September, it’s mating season for bison. Bulls compete for mates and can become much more aggressive. When visiting public lands, give the bison plenty of space and admire them from a safe distance away.

Sometimes the best part is the journey. Video description: A turtle at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore slowly walks across a grassy area.
