In a “typical year” what % of the total bison population will spend the entire year in YNP? (I understand that weather will greatly influnce the answer to this question).
Have wolves since their reintroduction in 1995 had any impact on bison herds? I assume not as a much as their impact on elk herds, since bison are obviously more of a challenge to bring down.
