Yellowstone Tourist Suffers Conseqences After Getting Too Close To Bison

2023-09-20

[TCD] There are few more magnificent places in the world than Yellowstone National Park, which boasts 2.2 million acres of land to explore.

When making a visit, it’s important to remember you’re also entering the home of a number of wild animals, including elk, bears, and wolves.

One tourist got up close and personal with a wild bison, and it didn’t end well for them.

An image posted on the TouronsOfYellowstone Instagram account shows an unfortunate person pinned underneath the head of a clearly unhappy bison.

#8 Have some fun with this tribute to the Park Ranger

"What do you mean there isn't a balancing rock at Balancing Rock National Park?"

#6 I really appreciate the restraint the National Park Rangers exhibit (well, most of the time anyway).

We were in Hawaii (Big Island) at the Volcanoes National Park and had hiked down to the shore area where the lava usually flowed into the ocean. It wasn't flowing at that time, however.

A VERY irate tourist was complaining to a Ranger about how they'd traveled all this way to see 'a lava flow'. He was diligently trying to explain that the flow doesn't always happen and the tourist was positively irate that the Park couldn't do something about it. The Ranger kept his cool and proceeded to explain, again (and again), how a lava flows work. The tourist was having none of it.

#4 My sister found a wonderful book while we were visiting the park called DEATH IN YELLOWSTONE that covered all the various ways tourist met their fate in the park excluding the boring traffic accident, heart attack stuff. My favorite part was there was a woman that approached a park ranger and asked, "These animals are tame aren't they otherwise you wouldn't let them just walk around without fences?"

#2 An example of the Urban Ignoramus critter of the human species. Breed through multiple generations in a protected urban environment has no understanding of the behavior of large beasts of the non-urban environment. It also has absolutely no understanding or care of how food appears in it stores or where energy comes from to power its devices.

#1 It's the time of year when the bulls are going into rut.

Their feistiness can kill you.
