RE: If just one of those bison had turned around and charged him I bet he could not outrun it..................

From the Detroit Zoo website:
“Bison are surprisingly fast for their massive size. They can reach top speeds of 35 to 40 mph (56 to 64 km/h). This means a bison can outrun a human easily and is even faster than a racehorse over short distances.”


Reminds of a joke.
Two hikers in their 20s in the deep woods were finding increasingly alarming evidence of nearby grizzly bears. Finally one took off his thick boots and put on running shoes. As he finished lacing them his buddy laughed.

“You aren’t gonna outrun a bear so forget about it.”

“I don’t need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you.”
Took off running.
