I’ve been there the last two days
White people.
Folks taunt the animals at Yellowstone often.....
....occasionally there isn’t a happy ending.....the animal wins.
Once we were driving down (probably this same stretch of road)...
...and a whole herd of buffalo started across....
....all the cars could do is stop and wait
...we have a picture of a huge buffalo walking past our car...so close we could have touched it!
Hook ‘em!
Lets see. 2,000 pound Ice Age mammal almost kills 200 lb (not too bright) homo saipien. Uh huh. Yeah, this guys parents were swimming around in the low end of the gene pool.
We were just there last week. A lady in front of me at Beryl Spring asked her friend if she stuck her finger in the pool of boiling water would her finger fall off. I so wanted to tell her that if you pull on a buffaloes tail he will be your friend but I didn’t. I just gave her a rolling eyes look.
I once watched one put a big crease down the whole side of a mini van.
Signs said don’t stop, the van van was stopped though, and in front of me so, I was stopped. I watched and then went around on the other side.
Must of cost a bit to get that fixed.
Nothing to a bison though.
At my local national park, Elk Island, I rounded a corner on one of the trails and came across a bison. I was close enough that I could have petted it.
I skedaddled as fast as I could.
If we had a real life Jurassic Park, this would be the fool that would be taunting the tyrannosaurus.
There is a herd of buffalo down here, I can’t tell you how many times I have seen clueless people out in the pasture with them taking pictures. Trying to get as close as they could- with children too!
So many people out there now do not seem to have any idea that animals can be dangerous. You can tell them and they look at you like you are from another planet.
I honestly got tired of telling people of the danger and getting responses like I was the ignorant one. Started just driving by.
