Beasts of the Snow!

trudging slowly through this savage storm

a ghostly apparition in frozen snow 

strangely shrouding his unique appearance

in temperatures of minus ten below

moving slowly while hunting for nourishment

features barely visible in churning winds

these big beasts are made to cope with this weather

with sturdy bodies and intelligent minds

these ancient beasts have lived in Yellowstone

walking in a line through this swirling storm

strong neck muscles holding their heads high

and thick fur keeping each creature warm

as this wintry storm roars on through the park

stealthily plodding on through heavy snow

these bison are just amazing animals

living in temperatures of minus ten below
