Another victim of “The Bambi Syndrome.”

Yep.

Even relatively tame bison are ornery critters.

The wild ones can be downright dangerous.

Saw some bison at close range in Yellowstone last year. They are not friendly and appear to have no interest in making friends with people. A couple of them decided to walk on the boardwalk we were on, and the ranger who happened to be at hand was quite emphatic about not "trying to get that great closeup photo shot." They really are intimidating animals.
