I don’t see anything in that video indicating what direction they are running. As far as I can tell, they’re heading for the center of the park. There’s either something scary behind them or something tasty ahead of them
Oh, noes! Bison running? What next birds flying? Fish swimming?
To get to the southern part of my county I have to drive through YNP.
If the animals are leaving the park, it’s likely because we have had the harshest winter in three decades. Too much snow drives the animals out of the park.
As for earthquakes, I was in one in August ‘59 - just a few miles from Yellowstone. My first earthquake was a 7.4 +/- and killed 28 people. 4.3 is doo-doo.
Yellowstone has a long way to go before the caldera (it’s NOT a volcano) blows.
There will be plenty of major signs - excessive ground heating near the Norris Geyser Basin that will melt your boots, significant rising of the level of Yellowstone Lake, multiple dormant geysers becoming active again and the like.
All is well.
well, the humongous herds of bison roamed throughout the great plains, so it's in their genes. Could just be spring break after a hard winter and some bison dude like snorted out, "ROAD TRIP!"
Those bison are certainly voting with their hooves. Awaiting the superboom.
They seem to be coming down one crater wall and them running along the valley floor. They do not seem to be panicking, however. Just out for their daily constitutional.
I remember this one episode of Flipper where all the forest animals scrambling. Turned out a big hurricane was on the way.
“Bison Seen Fleeing Yellowstone Park (Video)”
The bison realized they had almost missed the deadline to sign up for Obamacare; and were rushing to find a working Internet connection.
