I believe this is the 2nd time this year that somebody was gored in Yellowstone because they got too close to a bison.

The level of stupidity displayed by some people is simply astounding.

Those things are massive- no idea why someone would want to saunter up to such a creature

It's sad that you have to remind people to stay away from wild animals. It's not a nature special on BBC, lady.

I've witnessed them from the comfort of my car when we visited Yellowstone back in 2011...and you are absolutely correct!

… I feel like this is appropriate for the whole “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” thing.

You've obviously never been to Grove City. Up here it's called grovetucky for a reason

This is the only appropriate response when faced with some bison.

Its not a petting zoo, its the wild. We talk about animals getting too comfortable around people and the danger it represents all the time... but really people are getting way too comfortable and lax with the idea of being close to a one ton wild animal.

Your not a disney princess no matter how much you want to be, keep your distance.

Most things in the animal kingdom are some combination of stronger, tougher, quicker, faster than us... often all of the above. It is really hard to think of a large mammal slower than us actually.

Cant help but think of the Brontaroc mid credit scene in "Dont Look Up".

Nobody knows how to circle the wagons like the Buffalo Bills

Btw, have any of you stayed at the hotel in the park? That would be fun for a night or so, but after that I think I would get tired of living in the 1920s.

Sadly this happens every year.

We were there about 10 years ago and people were being insane trying to get photos of a buffalo that was right off a hiking path to one of the pools. I mean getting off-path, going about 8-10 feet from this giant animal.

When there are bear sightings they have to send park rangers around to keep people from getting close to it. I imagine it is much worse now that we are in the selfie age....since people aren't even looking directly at the animal anymore.


We saw 4 bears in one day out there. Amazing place.

Yup, and often they euthanize the animal if they can identify it....sad and stupid all the way around.....

Grizzly bears can run faster than Usain Bolt, for example.
