I've watched this happen during almost every visit my family has made to Yellowstone National Park. You'd think the tourists would learn, but no. A new video share shows a bison in Yellowstone explain to a visitor that no, he does not want a selfie, but thanks.
Imagine what you would do in this situation. You're a deer (I realize that's a reach) and you're being chased by a coyote. What do you do? If you're in Yellowstone National Park, you hide in a nearby bison herd which is exactly what just happened as a new video shows.
Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful can be relied on to erupt every 10 minutes or so. Steamboat Geyser cannot. It went dormant for years, then woke back up. There's a new video showing a massive eruption of Steamboat for the first time in months.
It's a bit unsettling when you are driving across a bridge only to find that it's bouncing. That's exactly what happened to some visitors in Yellowstone National Park this week as that "bouncing" was because of a very large and enthusiastic herd of bison.
I am a confessed earthquake and geology nerd which is why I find the ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park fascinating. You might be interested to know there have been at least 178 earthquakes within the park over the past week, but you really shouldn't worry.
There is always an uneasy peace between bears and wolves in Yellowstone National Park. That was witnessed by guests (and workers) in the park a few days ago as a grizzly and two wolves came face-to-snout in a showdown in Hayden Valley.
In defense of the driver, I'm not sure what else they could have done. However, they ended up getting too close to a bison in Yellowstone National Park and now they'll have something to explain to the insurance adjuster.
