I went to Yellowstone in Feb of 2012. I witnessed the most gut wrenching nature story live. It took me until now to find the courage to go through my images and find one that would tell the story. I wept as I watched a mother bison try tirelessly to help her sick calf back up on its feet. Her pain and obvious distress was excruciating and I have never felt so helpless. I had the option to turn away and hide, but I chose to fight my tears and try and document the story. After hours of desperate attempts, she turned to the coyote who patiently waited nearby, and almost gave him the nod to move in. She walked away with her head down.
