bison

Trying to get closer to bison is dangerous for many reasons. It's obvious these are large animals, but they're also wildly unpredictable. Yellowstone tourists learned this lesson the hard way a few weeks ago.

I am not sure if this makes me a terrible person or not, but I really wish these motorcyclists got what was coming to them. These motorcyclists got dangerously close to this huge herd of bison and were harassing them.

Now, the challenges still need to be overcome.

WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised. It may not be for everyone. The video captures wildlife doing what it does, surviving and fighting. This bear and this bison fight each other and it is all caught on camera.

The woman appears to have gotten too close to a calf.

We never get tired of seeing video of tourists getting too close to wild animals while in Yellowstone (as long as they are ok). This woman gets chased by a bison, trips and is completely unscathed.

It's mating season right now, and some of the animals aren't tolerating any fellow Bison-blocking.

On June 25th a 72 year old woman was gored after getting too close to a bison at Yellowstone National Park.

Reinke may have a drinking problem (Yah think?) and he apparently was cutting a wide swath of destruction across the National Parks System.

Approximately twenty-seconds into the video, the tourist approaches the animal after exiting his car with arms waving, and is briefly charged by the bison.

Yellowstone National Park's booming bison population is expected to reach a level that park officials would like to maintain despite being much higher than the official population goal.

More than 1,000 bison were removed from Yellowstone National Park this winter as part of population control.
