If you want to know the truth (and, really, of course you do), I didn’t even notice when I made this picture that the bison had only one horn; by my calculations just now, that reduced my chances of getting gored by half. But even if I had known, I still would have stayed in the car to get the shot. I’m pretty sure a one-horned bison could still do some damage.
