A fed-up bison sends a rude tourist to the ground at Yellowstone (video)

They’re finally sick and tired of being buffaloed by us.

One for Team Bovine. And I wouldn’t be upset if @euansmith’s posted bulls also made a few clear statements… especially that buff fellow with all the horrible branding burn wounds up and down its flanks and back.

but it did seem like once people were aware, they were trying to get out of the way.

Not everyone. Note person in red. This is after the guy went over the railing.

Maybe the Park should force every visitor to sit through “Grizzly Man” (you’ll be rooting for the bears after 5 minutes) prior to going through the gates.

WOW! Just yesterday, I read a similar story in Carl Hiaasen’s book, Squirm.

i’m not really sure what was “rude” about the tourist. dumb, sure, but rude?
i don’t see anyone trying to pet the bison. i see people taking videos/pictures and not realizing they are penning themselves in. the guy on the fence puts his hand out when he’s on the fence, but i think that’s just a natural reaction because he’s backed himself into the fence. am i missing something?
they may be a bit naive, but not like the videos of people on the beach picking up baby dolphins etc.

There’s always one…
