When I was eight my family visited Custer State Park which had a wild heard of Bison
Dad saw a guy getting out of his pickup to take a closeup photo of a lone bull buffalo with his 110 Kodak Instamatic. Dad pulled up behind the guy's truck and announced to the back seat, "Hey kids, you are about to see a guy get killed by a buffalo."
Mom hit Dad in the arm. The buffalo charged. The man dove in the passenger's window of his truck. The buffalo hit the side of the truck and left a huge dent.
Yep. Buffalo, moose and other big critters like that need to be treated with respect.
And from that day on you never messed with Mom and Dad.
