Very cool animal… Teddy HOOsevelt (thank you Shemp Howard…) pretty much saved them from extinction.

Big old freight train animal…

The bison of today are smaller than their ancestors of just a couple of centuries ago.

The bison the Great Plains Indian tribes hunted were huge, many standing 15 feet or more at the shoulder.

These ancient animals were much larger than the iconic bison we love today. Fossil records show that one prehistoric bison, Bison latiforns, had horns measuring 9 feet from tip to tip...........

They are called tourons. A combo of tourists and morons. I’ve never been to Yellowstone but where I didn’t see some evidence of their activity. People leaving their vehicles and wandering out to the herd to get a picture. There was one that hung out at OFI when I stayed there and I avoided the door nearest their hangout. Same at the cabins they rent. You just wait until they pass and leave them alone (especially during the rut).

Always have a designated bison-kicker. Don’t kick a bison while you are drunk.

I’m thinking there was some grass next to a thermal hot spring that maybe fermented over winter?

I seem to recall reading that Luis and Clark were stranded for a day, while a stampeding herd of bison crossed their path… And the plain was black with them.

Magnificent animal… SO American…

Idaho Man has a distinct inferiority complex with regard to his cousin Florida Man. There's more gators than there are bison, for one thing.

This is one of those little problems that I'm perfectly content to watch itself work out...

The Park Service warns tourists to stay at least 25 yards away from bison; Zaluski said that’s a sound policy.

For the benefit of dumb dumbs like Yoder, that's 75 feet.

Does the bison get awarded a fourth notch on his hide?
