Thanks to explore.org fan K and B for this sunset capture of a deer on the Bison Cam this past fall. Pronghorn antelope, mule deer and white-tailed deer are common in Grasslands National Park.
The gestation period for bison is 270-285 days, or a little over 9 months. The female bison who will breed this spring are pregnant and near the end of their wait. Calves will be born April-May.
See more of the winter thaw and the animals who return to – and will be born on – the prairie on the Live Cam here.
