If bison had 9 lives, Sparky has used up eight of them.
This lucky bison is a resident at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa and managed to survive being struck by lightning in 2013.
According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Interior, Sparky's prognosis wasn't good and they weren't sure he would survive.
"But he proved us wrong!"

Oh dear, poor Sparky, I’m glad he’s OK.
Now my question is, was his name Sparky before, or did he just get that name now?
I mean, I saw a gal on American Idol who brought her prize chicken in with her for the audition (why? I don’t know why, New York is where I’D rather stay!) and the judges were surprised to learn it had no name.

Prior to being named Sparky, he was called Zeus.

I know nothing. Nothing.
It looks as if his buffalo wild wings were removed.

I ordered a buffalo burger once. It tasted like mutton. Who knows, maybe they served me mutton and called it buffalo? ;-)

Did Sparky hurl an ad-hominem insult at a FReeper? Man, those Viking Kitties will zot anything.
