Bison bison bison
Male bison, at least five feet tall at the shoulder.
North American high plains grasslands.
The uploaded image is of one of several individual bison observed on either side of--and sometimes crossing--U.S. Highway 385 just south of its southern junction with the access road to the Wind Cave National Park Visitor Center in South Dakota.

I e-mailed this picture to my daughter, who showed it to her 2-year old daughter, who announced, "That's a yak". Obviously it's not, but my granddaughter had seen a picture of a yak, never of a bison, and made an association.
