# 118 - Buffalo sauna: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
This apparently tranquil scene is actually a life or death struggle being played out by these buffalo. By staying near the steam vents, they save energy by not having to warm themselves. There is however very little for them to eat in these areas so they have to travel greater distances to find forage. The catch is that they may expend more energy walking back and forth to food than they save by staying warm, causing them to starve to death.
