Mastering the morning commute is all about timing and patience. With more than 4,000 bison at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, viewing them from inside the car is often the best and safest option. Just remember, these wild animals are unpredictable, and much like people in traffic, it’s best to give them space. Be sure to pull over and avoid blocking the road to watch wildlife, and please do stay in the car if you encounter one of these incredible “jams”.

If you haven’t already heard, Grumpy Cat, the feline Internet sensation, died this week. The Othmeralia team is filled with animal lovers so we were quite saddened to hear this news. Rest in peace, @realgrumpycat.

The cat shown here comes from the pages of Topsell’s The history of four-footed beasts and serpents (1658).
