Bison are known to conceal their pregnancies to prevent predators targeting animals and their offspring. The female calf was discovered after a couple of days when rangers could not locate the mother, who had found a secluded site to give birth. The bison ranger Tom Gibbs said ‘she has come on leaps and bounds, literally’.
