Waiting for traffic

[danalwyn]

As I was driving through the lab to the High Rise this morning, I came across what appeared to be a Gray Fox calmly waiting for traffic to pass. This is somewhat a rare sighting at the lab; I've only seen one once before. He seemed polite enough at least.

Of course, if I was a small, vulnerable predator hanging around close to a herd of buffalo, I would be on my best behavior too.

There are herds of buffalo in Illinois?

There's one at Fermilab. It stays on the farm and is rather placid for the most part.

Ah, I see them now (http://www.fnal.gov/pub/about/campus/ecology/wildlife/bison.html).

That's oddly ... wonderful.

They have calves every once in a while who are strikingly orange. That gets people to come look at them even from those who live in Fermilab.
