"Nature finds a way to harmonize everything in existence, even bison rolling in the dirt. Bison wallow to deter flies. The disturbance in the soil creates craters that retain water, that in turn promotes the growth of grassland plants that need moisture, that are used as resources by other species. One action leads to another, a flow of energy that starts with a bison wallow."

Have you ever seen a Bison wallow? It is a beautiful and powerful sight. Wallowing, is taking a dirt bath. Bison that have wallowed in the same spot repeatedly leave a bowl-like depression. Wallows are essential to the Prairie ecosystem. As the bison roam, they pick up seeds from the many plants they encounter. When they wallow, they coat the depression with the oil from their body and deposit the seeds. The oil from their bodies keeps rainfall in the wallows longer and aids the growth of the pl
