A video that was recently published online shows a herd of bison charge at a group of tourists in Yellowstone National Park, according to an article from USA Today.
In the video, captured by Adella Gonzalez last Wednesday, a herd of bison walks across a pathway and back into the grass. A group of people then move closer to the bison and cross "mere feet in front of the herd."
The bison herd then charges the tourists, who notice and manage to move out of the way in time, allowing the bison to continue running their intended path. According to Gonzalez, everyone was okay.
Like with all other wildlife, the National Park Service advises to not approach bison and to watch animals from a distance. The NPS's webpage dedicated to bison explains that they are wild animals and that they can be unpredictable. Bison are the largest land mammals in North America, with males weighing up to 2,000 pounds and females able to reach about 1,000 pounds. They can also run up to 30 miles per hour.
The NPS says to maintain a distance of 100 feet from bison, and to view them from inside a vehicle if they are within 100 feet of the road. NPS even drives the point home with a video of a bison goring at West Thumb. The caption reads "while bison may seem as harmless and slow, they can be dangerous and fast."
Go Bison!

I have heard of Bison.
Idiots.
A general rule I follow, if something outweighs me 20 to 1, I give it wide berth.
They should take pics with the mother bearâs and her cubs too that would be such a cute selfie for Fartbook
Meh. Looks like the bison are taking off for points unknown, and there just happens to be a few people between where they are and where they’re going.
amber herd you took a wrong turn at buffalo
you can’t fix stupid.
Cue the Stacey Abrams’ pics.
Iâm glad to see that the bison were all OK and that no bison were hurt in the video.
Maybe the tourists will take all the warnings seriously once one of them is ground into the earth by a bison in front of their eyes.
Zactly.
Darwin Rules even in National Parks. Who knew.
You are given a pamphlet at each entrance to the Park explaining what NOT to do. Yet, every year the tourons have to push the envelope.
What up with all the fake news on FR lately?
They werenât charging at the tourists just charging by them.
Always idiots who anthropomorphise bison in giant friendly fluffy cows in their feeble minds. “He knows I only want to pet him. He understands that I am friendly”.
This is NOT Disney nit-wit.
God forgives.
Man sometimes forgives.
Mother Nature NEVER forgives.

NATIONAL WYOMING DAY
On May 24th, National Wyoming Day recognizes The Equality State.
#NationalWyomingDay
The 44th state to join the union, Wyoming territory led the nation and the world in granting women the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming territorial legislature passed a bill allowing women the right and the governor signed the bill on December 10, 1869. Twenty years later, Wyoming would approve the first state constitution including womenâs suffrage. They would be granted statehood in 1870.
In a vast open country where homesteaders had to rely on one another, man or woman, equality had real meaning, true grit. On July 10, 1890, Wyoming became a state.
It is also a country where massive towers seem to rise out of nowhere mysteriously. Devilâs Tower stands starkly against brilliant blue skies or disappears into the fog. Depending on the day or its mood it can do either, or both. Explore the Native American legends surrounding the creation of the monolith, hike its trails, and wonder at its existence.
From Fossil Butte National Monument to Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Wyoming retells history. The state thrills and challenges visitors with its spectacular views in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park.
In The CowboyState, rodeos provide opportunities to flex skills in the arena and amaze audiences in the stands. Whether they compete indoors or out, boots, jeans, and hats are recommended.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL WYOMING DAY
