Title
Bison crosses road during the Yellowstone Fires of 1988
Description
A bison crosses a road to escape the smoke and flames of the infamous "Summer of Fire" in Yellowstone National Park, when 51 different fires ravaged the grasslands, understory, and forest canopy. Yet there were wildlife casualties as well: an estimated 300 animals perished in conflagrations, most of which were elk.
