I am distraught. Everyone is stealing my great ideas. I wanted to ride a bison. Never got the chance, they shied away. I see this morning someone stripped off naked and dove into the giant Bass Pro aquarium. Also my idea. They’ve ruined it for me because I don’t want to be perceived as a copycat. Life just isn’t fair.

People are being way too hard on this nice person. The Bison was wagging its tail, and everyone knows that means it is happy to see you!

Yep ... the bison just LOVES to gore things, then stomp them into a bloody pulp. Great fun, bison-style.

Honestly, the world would be better off if the Rangers would just let Darwin have his way with these idiots.

Once the Native Americans killed off the horse, there was no North American animal that was ridable! Old World people had the horse and the donkey.

South Americans had the llama, which was domesticated but not readily ridable.

But the Spaniards inadvertently gave horseback riding back to the Native Americans!

What “close call”? None in video. I was expecting horns, gore and guts following a yippe-ki-yay ride.

Why not just let it happen and film it for the interwebs.

the man approached a particularly large bison and asked if he could stroke its fur. Excited, he then asked whether he could ride it before being startled back by the animal's bristling reaction.

In the “bison” versus “buffalo” wars, here's a nickel's worth of advice:

If yer gonna talk to the animals, don't ask for too much, even if you don't have two bison to rub together.

I'm sorry to hear of this. But have you ever thought about going to an aquarium and jumping into the shark tank? If you are really feeling adventurous, maybe cut yourself beforehand. But don't worry about it being my idea. If you do it, I'll keep my mouth shut.

Disney did a disservice by humanizing animals way too much.

Horses migrated off the North American Continent about 2 to 3 million years ago. They were reintroduced here when the Spanish arrived.

LOL! :) They really love to be scratched under the chin.
