Wood Bison Calf Playing with Ball

This YouTube video was produced by the Calgary Zoo.

Big ball, bigger learning moment! We spotted ‘Taiga’s’ wood bison calf at play, testing coordination and strength by trying to roll a ball nearly its own size. For young bison, playful moments like these help build muscle, balance, and confidence—skills they’ll rely on as full-grown members of the herd.
