They really are majestic creatures. (albeit a bit grumpy)
If anyone in the US hasn't seen one in person, I'd recommend making the effort. Much different experience than simply seeing a picture, especially if it's on open range like Yellowstone National Park.
They're huge (~10' long, 6' tall). They're heavy (~1700 lbs). They're fast (~40mph, in the locomotive, once-they-get-1700lbs-going sense).
And they fit perfectly in scale with the plains.
(Disclaimer: Don't approach them, as they generally don't like that. And you don't want one angry at you)
