Bronx Zoo Buffalo & Ungulates: Viewing Guide

Ungulates move with grass, shade, and hierarchy.

Viewing Tips

• Track shade lines; groups settle where comfort is highest.
• Watch for subtle leader cues—movement spreads from a few.
• Scan edges of open fields; approach angles change with wind.

Grazing Patterns (Quick Guide)

Tip: Shoot in bursts when the group shifts—those frames feel alive.

Lenses & Angles

• Moderate telephoto (70–200 equiv.) for portraits.
• Wider frames to tell group stories.
• Slight elevation to avoid horizon clutter.

Bottom Line

Grazing behavior is predictable—use it to anticipate the next great photo.
