Snout

I liked the perspective on this photo, but it wouldn't work on newsprint because the buffalo's snout would just look like a huge dark blotch.

I hope the blog provides enough clarity for you to see it's the upside-down nose of a bison.

This was during the gutting process, when the hunters and helpers had to hold the 2,000-pound dead buffalo on its back. That wasn't an easy task and involved two or three men holding legs and hooves in place.
