Tired Baby Bison Calf Stops Traffic in Yellowstone || ViralHog

Occurred on May 13, 2021 / Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
On May 13th a lone exhausted baby bison just laid down on the Grand Loop Road in the northern tier of Yellowstone National Park. The little guy was quickly surrounded by protective cows. No one was going anywhere. Of course, one gentleman had to get out of his truck and walk towards the Bison and front to see what was going on. He risked his own safety to do it by doing what the park tells you not to do, approach a bison. Let alone a cow and newborn calf.

Yellowstone is a wonderful place to see these majestic creatures. It's easy to become complacent by their seemingly timid nature, but make no mistake, they can bring the pain when they want to, and cover ground fast. Considering they were obviously trying to protect their young, i definitely recommend staying in the car.

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

Exactly

[@stevecrawford333]

no one honked, no one screamed, no one got out to take photos. First time nature respected, nice seeing people driving who have nowhere to be but watching that.

[@moncorp1]

Oh that moron in the red went up to the first vehicle in line to ask why he wasn't just driving by, why he was holding the line up.

[@Nessal83]

It's because there was no tourist from china that day.

[@sugar33spice]

Did you not see the halfwit in the red? That's what you're NOT supposed to do in Yellowstone. I've lived in the area for 20 years and have had enough of seeing and telling off morons like this.

[@stevecrawford333]

@@moncorp1 eh looked like he was just chatting because it would be a while.. maybe hes form the area and talking to a buddy and not as scared. Ive seen much worst, wasnt up taunting and getting a photo. Would be similar if a ranger was standing there. Its on him if he gets attacked.

I was in a tour of yellowstone and our tour guide told us "bison have the right of way throughout the park. Humans are to give way to them for as long as it takes to move safely".

This video reminded me of a woman who tweeted the Dept of Fish & Wildlife complaining that bears were roaming in her backyard. The Dept of Fish & Wildlife tweeted back that they had received complaints from bears that someone had built a house in their backyard.

The old dude in the white truck was late for the early-bird special and wanted to know what was the hold up.... *Someone should've encourage him to be proactive walk over and move the calf himself.

[@theholderfamily]

I wished one would have shown him some hospitality and booted his butt back to the truck.

[@lindaannweist4895]

It sounds like a good idea, but just about every time there is interaction between a wild animal and a human, the animal pays the price by being euthanized, even though it is not the animal's fault that human beings continue to encroach on the habitat of wildlife. I would love to see that fool get his comeuppance for his selfish behavior. They are not in our way; on the contrary, we are in theirs.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

Any time you can get your baby to sleep...the rest of the world can wait. I guess that's true with animal moms too.

[@dbreardon]

Had something similar happen to me when leaving Yellowstone on the eastern side on Rt 14 towards Cody. There was a single (one) buffalo on the road but road was going through the mountain pass so it was shear rock on one side and a steep drop off on the other side so the buffalo was just slowly walking up the middle of the road holding up traffic......LOL. I have a video of up (but is on FB) as the buffalo slowly walks up and past my car. I had my dog in the car and I can be heard saying, "No bark, No bark" We all need to remember that this is their land and we are just the visitors

Right. You're an expert on wildlife. This man was in fact in danger, but it would simply be a thinning of the herd, Darwin-style, so no loss and will make the human herd mentally healthier.

I once seen basically the same on Fisherman's Bridge some years ago (Like 20+, excep some jack wagon was in a hurry in all thins an older VW Bug, he kept honking his horn inching his way acroos the bridge at the same time a Bull Buffalo was, the Bull must have had enough of the horn, hip checked the VW Bug and knocked it off the bridge, everyone started clpping. When in Yellowstone, enjoy it, that's what you're there for.

[@Nezsem]

What happened to the guy? Did he see everyone clapping?

[@skywind8030]

Do not approach the fluffy cows! Every year someone tries to walk up to a bison. I've seen tourists getting thrown out of their pants! They do put on a great show though. I love comedy.

[@doctorboot7191]

we have buffalo in my hometown and some idiot got gored in the groin because he got way too close to the fence...the city had to put up a second larger fence because of his stupidity. hopefully losing a testicle taught him a lesson.

[@distracteddana013]

Quick math lesson for those saying he was far enough away. 25 yards is 75 feet. The average "short bus" that some people ride is a little more than 20 FEET. So, to be far enough away, he would have to be at least 4 short buses away from them.

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

They’re actually bison 😉 I just learned that

[@marshalofod1413]

Were they though? There's paleontological evidence suggesting that the North American bison may have contributed to the extinction of mastodons (and other megafauna, with dependent predators), along with climate change beginning prior to the Last Glacial Maximum. Go back far enough, and whomever was there first, resembles nothing alive today. Go back even further, and nobody was there. Ten million years from now? We will have long been replaced by new life. The land is no one's. Certainly not a species that doesn't even understand the concept of ownership. Nor, is it ours, per se. It is just land. And in five billion years, it very may well be gone, swallowed by our expanding and dying sun...

The engine rumble actually keeps them slightly away from the vehicles. If you turn your car off they could all just lay down and be there for a few hours.
