A Wild Bond: Sunny and Her Baby Bison

When I read about Sunny the bison and her baby boy, Samson, my heart felt full. There’s something incredibly touching about a mother and her child, especially when their love is shown not through words, but through quiet moments in nature. Seeing them roam the fields together reminds us of the powerful bond between a mother and her baby—no matter the species.
What made me smile most was the little detail about Samson’s “four eyes.” Of course, he doesn’t really have four eyes—those tiny bumps are his baby horns starting to grow. It’s such a sweet and innocent image, showing how life slowly unfolds, even in the wild. Every small step, every new feature, is a milestone for this growing little one.
Sunny’s quiet strength shines through in every step she takes beside her son. She doesn’t need to say anything—just being there, guiding him, protecting him, is enough. And Samson, full of curiosity and wonder, walks by her side, trusting her completely. Their bond is simple, beautiful, and pure.
This story reminded me that love isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s soft and steady, like hooves in the grass or gentle nudges between a mama and her baby. Sunny and Samson show us that nature is full of love—and that even in the wild, family is everything.
