There’s a new baby bison at this Washington park. See the ‘cutie’ bond with mom

Posted

A fluffy baby bison was born at a Washington zoo, and now visitors can see it bond with its mom.

The bison was born May 24 at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville, the open-range zoo said in a Facebook post.

“The young calf is already showing off its spirited little personality, trotting around and exploring its surroundings with curiosity while staying close to its mom, Sunny,” the wildlife park said.

A video shows the “red dog” lounging in grass near its mom.

Visitors can try and spot the bison during a free-roaming area tour.



The roaming area is 435 acres with Roosevelt elk, bison, caribou, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer and a swan, according to the park.

“Welcome to the world you adorable little red dog!” one person commented on Facebook.

“What a cutie!!” another person commented.

The wildlife park is in Eatonville, about a 35-mile drive southeast from Tacoma.
