Bison Calves

This is a painting of two bison calves playing together with one of their mothers in the background.  They are probably not twins as bison rarely have twins.  If a bison does have twins, often the mother will nurse only one of the two, leaving the other to die.  In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, where I photographed these bison, there is a tall grass that is quite pink in color certain times of the year.  This is the tall grass in the painting.
