Film Screening: What Bison See

What does Yellowstone look like through the eyes of a bison? The community is invited to experience What Bison See, a wildlife documentary from the Wyoming Migration Initiative at the University of Wyoming. The film offers an unprecedented glimpse into the lives and movements of Yellowstone bison, following the first animals fitted with video collars to provide an intimate, first-person perspective on how they navigate the landscape.

Produced in partnership with the National Park Service and presented by Yellowstone Forever, the documentary features footage and insights from biologists and a tribal representative. It reveals new perspectives on bison behavior, movement, and their relationship with the Yellowstone ecosystem.

Following the screening, a discussion panel and audience Q&A will feature Yellowstone bison biologist Chris Geremia; Matt Kauffman, leader of the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit at the University of Wyoming; Janey Fugate, project coordinator for the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration; and filmmaker Patrick Rodgers. The evening concludes with a reception on the Draper Natural History Museum’s Tile Map, offering attendees an opportunity to continue the conversation with the filmmakers and wildlife experts.

The event is free and open to the public, with seating limited to approximately 160 people. This special screening is sponsored by the Nancy-Carroll Draper Charitable Foundation.
