ROLETTE COUNTY, N.D. (KMOT) – Call it a North Dakota traffic jam.
A herd of roughly a dozen buffalo were caught on a camera crossing a North Dakota highway Wednesday.
Chelsi DeCoteau and her friend Shyann Peltier were driving on Highway 5 near the Turtle Mountain tribal headquarters around 9 a.m. Wednesday, when DeCoteau said they came to a halt.
She called it a “phenomenal” sight to see as the large animals jumped over a fence and crossed the road.
“You don’t realize how huge a buffalo actually is until they are right in front of you,” said DeCoteau.
