Bison

I had the pleasure of staying at Diamond P Grassroots Bison near Lava Hot Springs in McCammon. I thought my time off would be a just soak in the pool to get away from pesky co-workers, but the stay at Grassroots was a welcome addition.

She and a friend were near the Lake Lodge Cabins when attacked.

It’s a good way to get boiled like a lobster.

Yellowstone visitors like this are the reason there is now a new word in our dictionary. Because of them the word 'touron' now exists.

Every year, millions of tourists visit Yellowstone National Park and every year there are vehicular accidents with large animals.

Because clearly, the warnings aren’t working.

No running ‘tourons’ who were ‘trying to get a better shot’ videos were posted this time. Just evidence the herd keeps a baby safe. It doesn’t just take a village, it takes a herd.

The baby eventually had to be euthanized.

It’s apparent the warnings aren’t working with many park visitors.

It was a little too close for comfort.

The advice takes repeating.

I don’t need a selfie. I’m more entertained by the videos.

Are the animals stressed? You bet.

What you see in this video was one of my biggest worries when I visited Yellowstone National Park a few years ago.

The stampede took place near Gardiner.

They’re built like light pickup trucks.

Call it bison hunters versus bison huggers.

These tourons are lucky the animal didn't feel too threatened.

It is common knowledge that you should stay away from all wild animals, but that doesn’t keep people from making bad decisions.

Here's something you probably never thought about, until now. Who would win in a fight: a North American bison or an African rhinoceros?
