Moose, bison and bears are huge and we ain't squat to be ran down, over or eaten by a bear.

@@ronfox5519 i grew up around black bears & I get along with them fine. (By being considerate of course!) & I am not going to walk up to a bison or give him any reason to think I might. Bc people think bears are scary & "buffalo" cute, I thought I'd mention that a bison is far more likely to get sick of company, & far more suddenly. And both can outrun us no problem. & That's the difference. A black bear might just chase someone away to get peace. A bison wanting peace chases them to teach them a physical lesson. They would rather avoid us. The bear is more invested in running off unless cornered and the bison is going to run towards every time. The ones near the road are the enforcers between the tourons & the herd. They're there to toss those who cross a line. It's their job in the buffalo tribe. They're like mama bears if you go near a cub. Calves same deal. But the mama bear is scaring you off. The bison wants you broken so you can't run after a calf. They've been hunted more, are seen as the meat dept still by many. & They know that. I know what I'd do. I think they excel at patience, frankly.

I always cheer for the bison.

[@PaulHarris-sl1ct]

We have a small herd of bison in golden gate park in San Francisco. You can, and I have, get really close to them. Magnificent creatures. A friend of mine and I were walking a golden retriever puppy one morning. On the other side of the fence was a bison. The puppy and the bison were literally nose to nose sniffing each other. It was so cute because the bison's nose was about twice the size of the puppy

[@PS-yf4bj]

YUP. I sat in my car as they walked by in their heard. Powerful moment. They own the roads too. Always keep distance. Them babies are adorable when walking in the middle of the heard ❤️❤️❤️

[@yegfreethinker]

Exactly why it's good to keep a generous distance because like a good mother she will do whatever can and does feel necessary to protect her babies so don't mess around because I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone were getting why too close for comfort. But you know what it isn't a bad thing to keep your distance and by making your intention crystal clear that you mean no harm you can see a reduction in body movement that indicates stress or almost like calm that isn't experienced when the animal flight or fight is triggered. You can say it's my imagination but I think finish with you if it's only these animals when you observe the best practices for observing these animals almost a Zen like feeling of mutual respect from some of the animals that you are not getting up in their face and giving them room to be as they were meant to be. If wanna see it action out a videos for cars yielding for like a mama bear morning her cubs across a highway---needless to say like any mother dealing with very young children sometimes they can get out of control and they kept going back across to the other side of the highway where they came from I can't have any problem nevertheless people were patient with her and she eventually got her newborns across the highway---when she finally finishes you can kind of see she's happy that motorists kept their distance when they follow the rules and she gave them what I'd call an expression of a relieved- gratitude and then keeps going on about the day. Leave the wild to be Wild. By all means enjoy nature but don't think mother nature is your plaything. Respect -- most important thing in so many seemingly unrelated activities....

Well, many people are willing to go far to look for some stimulation & excitement. Getting close to huge beasts like bison would be one of the few things that can still make people's hearts pumping like crazy.

[@gaetanomaximus8650]

Same here. In fact, if I were there, it'd be hard to resist the temptation to be an agitator along the lines of "Sure, go pet that bison! He WANTS you to pet him! They LOVE that! Don't be a wuss!!!"

[@johnmccarron7066]

The first time I ever saw a wild bison in Yellowstone, I cried. That was a deeply moving thing for me, and something I waited nearly my entire life for. That was for a scattered herd in the distance on a hill. There's really no reason to get so close to these animals to take it their grandeur, or upset them in what is their home.

[@Gregorypeckory]

Well, at least we know natural selection still works sometimes.

[@TheBerkeleyBeauty]

The sad part is if someone were hurt or killed, the animal would probably be put down.

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

Rather it happen to kids than an adult because kids are impressionable and after getting hit by a bison they will learn their lesson, but unfortunately for adults once stupidity sets in its permanent and won’t change

[@Gregorypeckory]

@Gator Nuggets I doubt there's a gym in the world that has a single person in it capable of outrunning a healthy full grown bison. Not many 4 legged creatures longer than a foot, are as slow as the fastest human.

[@chrisdaigle5410]

We were hiking up the hill beyond Old Faithful to get a wider view when we came upon a bison in the woods. We tried to keep our distance, but he came toward us and tried to cut us off from going back toward the lodge. He kept huffing at us but we kept trees between us and he never got closer than 35 or so feet. We finished going to the top of the hill and the view was great. On the way back down, he was gone.
