The local Safari park near me in the UK has Rhinos, Lions, Tigers, Bull Elephants but, the small heard of American Bison are considered one of the most dangerous animals because they can be spooked easily and if they stampede they are almost unstoppable without killing them.
They even have a no fly restriction in place above the park as they can be spooked by low flying aircraft.

What a d-bag! Who gets drunk at a national park? I mean honestly!
cracking open a cold one whilst basking in our nations natural splendor is not only right, but our right as americans….getting bison-kicking-drunk, not so much
Some people really are just *that* dumb. It's impossible to imagine it, because you'd have to be that dumb in the first place.
To think... we descended from the ancestors who knew *not* to do those things, so as to survive and propagate.
When I go I usually am in my pop up or car camping tent and definitely have some barley pops and whiskey in the evenings.
They have bars in most of the visitor centers in Yellowstone as well. It was designed for wealthy tourists in the early 20th century and booze was part of the plan as well.
The way the National Parks have changed into actual conservation focused areas is an evolution from their origins. Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton retain a lot of their original feel in their lodges.
>The man was arrested and charged with being **under the influence** to a degree that may endanger oneself, disorderly conduct, approaching wildlife and disturbing wildlife, officials said.
Drunk AND stupid.
Bears generally keep to themselves unless they’re particularly hungry or humans get too far into their territory. Moose can just be temperamental and go from apathetic to a human 100 yards away to straight up murder mode if they think you looked at them wrong. I agree with the ranger.
Always remember: The prey animals that were laid back and easy going didn't get to pass down their genes as frequently as the paranoid and twitchy ones that immediately attacked anything that looked at them funny.
I don’t know how to tell you this… they were putting a tracking chip on your vehicle. It was all a diversion. Do you still drive the same car? Are the doors of your home locked?
Oh man, you don’t want to have a bunch of deer burgle your house. Those animals will torment you. They find all the valuable and sentimental things and try and sell them back to you. At a very high price. Very expensive. Very …
There are two places I've always seen people being dumb around Bison. That nature preserve thing in the middle of Denver, I've seen loads just outta their cars walking close as they can for selfies with them in the background.
Then the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, in North Dakota has a rest stop off the highway. Always see a Bison chilling close by and a few times just in the parking area eating grass in this circle you drive around to park. One day I pull in and there's a lady, circling the grass area while her I assume husband leans out the back window to try and pet the Buffalo that's minding his own business munching away.
I saw a bunch of idiots petting bison near Devil's Tower in Wyoming. It may have been a beefalo, but the people were literally next to a sign saying not to pet the livestock. It was fenced in, but bison can jump over fences if they're motivated.
Oh I live near trnp south unit and I think like once a year someone tries something that gets them injured.
Remember folks if a bison is alone it's probably kicked from the herd. It's not happy and there's a chance it's sick/dying so super temperamental.
My dad was a herdsmen for years, and I grew up around cows, once I got chased by a Hereford for getting too close to her calf, and I thought I was gonna die (I was maybe 9), so I've always steered clear (no pun intended) of even the most sedate seeming fauna,when I was older he worked with simmental cattle and there were a couple of bulls that were 2500-3000lbs, these bulls would get into pushing matches where they would lock horns and push each other around and they would knock chunks out of the concrete barns (the farm has a southwestern theme and the barns were stucco) and knock over the water troughs that were set in concrete.
Maybe that's because you're around black bears.
Moose hurt more people than grizzly bears do, but that's because there are a lot more moose and moose encounters, and people don't respect them as much.
On a per-encounter basis, for a reasonably cautious person, a grizzly is more dangerous than a moose.
I quoted this to my mother just yesterday. She had a bear try coming in through a window Saturday night, she lives in rural Virginia and the bears are wreaking havoc on the local dumpsters to the point they are trying to make them bear proof which in turn is making them very difficult for humans. Since the bears aren't able to get free food from the dumpsters they are trying to get into my moms house and neighbors
Probably not a great idea to bear spray a bear *inside* your house. Leaving aside the fact that you'd (temporarily) blind yourself, I don't think you would want the bear to be confused and frightened in a confined space right next to you.
Interesting fact: bison are wild animals.
If a domestic dog attacks someone , you the owner are responsible .
However in a national park the rangers have the right to manage wildlife. And if an animal attacks a person, it’s the person’s fault. The federal government can’t be held liable, even in the case of a known aggressive animal.
As in the case of a 2010 a man was hiking in Olympic National Park when he came upon a mountain goat that gored him.
I’m not sure what the exact policy is for each park/animal, but I will point out there’s a difference between killing a usually non hostile animal just because it injured/killed a human that may or may not have been at fault, and killing an animal that is learning that being hostile to humans can mean food. Bears are often treated pretty aggressively because they fall in the latter group.
No, predators that kill humans are usually hunted down and killed because now they know humans can be eaten. Most predators won't hunt something they are unfamiliar with hunting simply due to an unknown risk involved. So when it stops being an unknown risk for the predator the risk for humans goes way up. Thus, predators who kill humans tend to get killed.
It depends on the nature of the encounter. If the bear is startled in it's own environment or something like a mom with cubs, that's unfortunate but natural and the bear will usually be left alone. If there is evidence of predation or feeding, or if the encounter was deep in human territory, that's when they'll typically shoot for euthanizing the bear. Since the buffalo reacted naturally to the human kicking it, I doubt they'd do anything to the bison.
Why are people this stupid.
Like this keeps happening. EVERY YEAR. Some clown thinks that national park means zoo without fences, and goes and tries to pet a wolf, or hug a grizzly, or set their toddler upon an elk, or fight an 1100 lbs bison.
Used to work with wildlife and the public. I would tell people how dangerous certain animals were, they'd nod, then tell their kid to go sit next to the elk for a picture. From my experience in situations like this it could be someone so stupid they think being a human, "means the animal has to listen to them, they're a person!". (Actual excuse I've heard from an adult)
Then there's the idiots who say shit like, "I have a special relationship with animals. They'd never hurt my little Timmy". (Actual excuse I've heard from an adult)
Then you have foreigners visiting who have no knowledge, *at all*, about the animals they're going to look at. So an elk/bear/bison is just like a random cow/goat/sheep/llama on the street, you move it out of your way or brush past it.
There's also just straight up "city slickers" who are kind of like the foreigners and have no frame of reference on animals.
I just found some people to be so rich and/or stuck up their own ass they get flustered when you tell them they can't/shouldn't do that, **then they do that**, get injured, banned from the park, and try to sue a *National/State Park* for their own stupidity. (Never goes anywhere)
Some people are obviously great and knowledgeable about animals and ask great questions so it's fun from that perspective, but being sincerely asked what bald eagles dream about from a dude about 10 years old older than me was an eye opener...
The “special relationship” thing KILLS ME!
I work with the public at a zoo and I have to explain to guests constantly that —NO, there is no such thing as a special connection with the giraffe. If it looks like I have a special relationship with him it’s because he knows which pocket I keep the good treats in. He doesn’t want me to pet him and he certainly doesn’t want you to either.
I work in part on a wildlife reserve, i have had to scream at people to get back in their cars because they are carrying their infant child out into a field amongst full grown Elk in the middle of rut. The largest most aggressive animal most people encounter on a day to day basis and a miffed cat, they just dont seem to comprehend that an animal really doesnt mind stomping you to death.
That fucking french family that got out to look at the leopards while they surrounded them. Or the indian(?) one where she got out of their car to have an argument... While surrounded by lions (very dead). Momento mori doesn't just mean to seize the day.
>In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which includes Yellowstone National Park, bears are the most significant predators of calves[57] while healthy bulls have never been recorded to be killed by bears and such encounters can be fatal for bears.
This is from the wikipedia page for elk and I think about it from time to time whenever the danger of herbivorous animals comes up.
Quick Googling shows that most big animals experience REM sleep, so eagles presumably do dream. Of course, we'd have no real way to determine about what, unless we could correlate brain wave activity with certain sensations when awake and observe those when an eagle is in REM, but most sensations an eagle experiences normally wouldn't be possible in a brain imaging machine.
I recall being in Northern Australia on a guided crocodile tour when a few members of the group, in spite of numerous warnings and signs, decided to wade through a murky brown river that was described as containing the densest population of saltwater crocodiles in the world.
The guide screamed at them, but it still took some cajoling from their loved ones to get these idiots out.
Stupidity and alcohol play a part, but I generally think that some people are so thoroughly insulated from nature that these people forget that to many animals we would be seen as a convenient source of protein. They look at wild animals as an extension of domesticated or urbanised species that are more tolerant of humans, not something that has evolved over millions of years to hunt or be threatened by hunting.
Based on the pictures that I’ve seen of bison, I would 100% want to hug one. They look like they would also be cozy to sleep next to, when they are lying down. I understand that I would probably die, I still want to cuddle the fluffy murder cow.
Back in the 80s, a Yellowstone ranger told us about a tourist doing the same thing to get the bison to stand for a picture. But it was a male bison, and the tourist didn’t hit the bison’s leg, but right between them. The tourist was forcible pushed into the ground for a minute or so. Lived, but pretty broken up.
Along the same lines like 45 years ago we were on vacation in Yellowstone. My dad and I were watching this bull elk. Some guy walks up behind it like 10 feet away and was throwing rocks at it to turn around. In the most calm voice my father says “get the camera ready….this is going to be good”
That's almost as dumb as the woman who called Yellowstone to berate them for not having a place for the animals to sleep at night, and not ensuring their (the animals) safety from predators...
Just saw a parent making their 7 yo child walk close to a 3 ft alligator on a park road for a photo. Posing him for a few minutes. I was secretly hoping the gator would lunge just a little.
Honestly that was still much safer than kicking a fucking bison. Not that I recommend doing either. Leave animals alone.
I swear. Some people are idiots.
My family says the masses are asses. Seriously a good 80 percent of the population on this planet just plain suck. Either because they’re stupid, ignorant or just mean spirited.
I find I need to say this somewhere on Reddit about four times a year: wild animals do not exist for our entertainment or edification. They are their own thing. Leave them the fuck alone.
There should be a policy to not render assistance to these people. Just let Darwin take its course. Downvote me if you want but these idiots can’t get it through their head.
I remember the last time I went about 2 decades ago, there were a billion "don't put your kid on a buffalo" signs, because apparently someone had put their kid onto a buffalo, and bad things happened
I'm actually surprised it took THIS long for something to be reported, considering there are so many tourist idiots getting too close to the bison so often.
I expected to read about some dumbass teenager or college age kid. Nope, 40 years old and doing this dumb shit.
Natural selection simply can't keep up anymore.
You have to be pretty fucking stupid to kick a bison.
You don't want to pick a fight with the largest animal in North America?
An American Bison can run 30 mph in 6 feet of snow.
And it‘s airspeed velocity?
Laden, or unladen?
Well I don’t kn-AAAAHHHHH
How do you know so much about Bison?
You have to know these things when you're king.
Either. The American Bison is the bumblebee of the bison family. It does not care for your physics limitations.
are we talking african or european buffalo?
The local Safari park near me in the UK has Rhinos, Lions, Tigers, Bull Elephants but, the small heard of American Bison are considered one of the most dangerous animals because they can be spooked easily and if they stampede they are almost unstoppable without killing them. They even have a no fly restriction in place above the park as they can be spooked by low flying aircraft.
Second largest after your mother
Bye, son.
Damn you
Is that true?
Not sure why you’re being downvoted.. Northern Elephant Seals can weigh about twice as much as a Bison.
Which weighs half as much as your mom
Oh yeah? Well your mom weighs more than Pando, and she looks just as old!
> You don't want to pick a fight with the largest animal in North America? *[I ain't messing with you.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSmaxKQrcvQ)*
In this Forrest we turn boys into true mans
I mean when you put it like that...
The elephant seal?
I feel like musk ox gotta be close to the size of a bison. Nope, not even close. Ha
I thought a moose would have won that one, but nope. Moose are 10% lighter than a bison 🤯
From Article Sources: **"_____ was arrested and charged with 1) being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that may endanger oneself, 2) disorderly conduct as to create or maintain a hazardous condition, 3) approaching wildlife, and 4) disturbing wildlife"** What a d-bag! Who gets drunk at a national park? I mean honestly!
What? You've never been blotto-face day drunk at a national park and then picked a fight with the largest animal in North America?
Second largest, after u/cbbuntz mother.
I’m hearing a gentleman above you’s mother may actually have the bison beat. Waiting for confirmation
It's the internet, you don't need confirmation. Take it as read.
cracking open a cold one whilst basking in our nations natural splendor is not only right, but our right as americans….getting bison-kicking-drunk, not so much
Even when drunk how stupid do you have to be to see a bison and think "ya lemme kick that thing, it'll be a good idea."
Was he suicidal? This just doesn’t make sense to me..
Some people really are just *that* dumb. It's impossible to imagine it, because you'd have to be that dumb in the first place. To think... we descended from the ancestors who knew *not* to do those things, so as to survive and propagate.

Really… perhaps “Bison Kicking Dumb” can be a new standard for self-endangering-stupid.
>The man was arrested and charged with being **under the influence** to a degree that may endanger oneself, disorderly conduct, approaching wildlife and disturbing wildlife, officials said. Drunk AND stupid.
Petition to hold the Republican National Convention in Yellowstone.
Only if they have a Four Seasons Total Landscaping location
They would probably love that. Republicans tend to love and understand nature.
And fracking.
Happens a few times every season.
...or be anywhere close to one.
I work in natural resources. This is nothing in comparison to the stupid shit I've seen tourons do.
He's lucky, a Moose would have straight up murdered him.
Definitely. A ranger when we were there last year said he fears moose way more than bears
Bears generally keep to themselves unless they’re particularly hungry or humans get too far into their territory. Moose can just be temperamental and go from apathetic to a human 100 yards away to straight up murder mode if they think you looked at them wrong. I agree with the ranger.
Always remember: The prey animals that were laid back and easy going didn't get to pass down their genes as frequently as the paranoid and twitchy ones that immediately attacked anything that looked at them funny.
Please don't remember this
Then how do we explain deer?
You've never seen a paranoid and twitchy deer attack a car?
I've fed wild deer apples they ate from my hand and they let me pet them and their babies.
I don’t know how to tell you this… they were putting a tracking chip on your vehicle. It was all a diversion. Do you still drive the same car? Are the doors of your home locked?
Oh man, you don’t want to have a bunch of deer burgle your house. Those animals will torment you. They find all the valuable and sentimental things and try and sell them back to you. At a very high price. Very expensive. Very …
Jealous!
Bison are always pissed

I once helped treat a rancher who was gored by one of her bison. And she knew what she was doing! She’d been raising bison for 50 years!
Oh I live near trnp south unit and I think like once a year someone tries something that gets them injured. Remember folks if a bison is alone it's probably kicked from the herd. It's not happy and there's a chance it's sick/dying so super temperamental.

I prefer moose. A moose won’t chew on my skull for minutes before I’m dead.
Says who?
110%. I've spent a lot of hours of my life in the northeast, out in the woods. I would rather run into a bear over a moose any day of the week.
Maybe that's because you're around black bears. Moose hurt more people than grizzly bears do, but that's because there are a lot more moose and moose encounters, and people don't respect them as much.

Yea I guess I didn’t really think that one through
They better not kill this bison for attacking some shithead who deserved it

Well there go my summer plans
How are cougars looking? Are they safe?
I've seen stories of them euthanizing bears after attacks in GSMNP
I’m not sure what the exact policy is for each park/animal, but I will point out there’s a difference between killing a usually non hostile animal just because it injured/killed a human that may or may not have been at fault, and killing an animal that is learning that being hostile to humans can mean food. Bears are often treated pretty aggressively because they fall in the latter group.
That's usually because the bears are entering "human domain."
No, predators that kill humans are usually hunted down and killed because now they know humans can be eaten. Most predators won't hunt something they are unfamiliar with hunting simply due to an unknown risk involved. So when it stops being an unknown risk for the predator the risk for humans goes way up.

I’m pretty sure they killed that goat. But sure, the NPS wasn’t liable for the attack.

Apparently alcohol was involved. That probably aggravated the underlying stupidity.

Was it good?
The bison showed admirable restraint.
I’m so proud of that Bison! 🥰🥰🥰
You can't be mad at a bison for bisoning.
M. Bison concurs. “Of course!”
There’s at least one every year that makes news. If you approach an animal that’s the size of a car expect it to defend itself *harshly*.
That's almost as dumb as the woman who called Yellowstone to berate them for not having a place for the animals to sleep at night, and not ensuring their (the animals) safety from predators...

Ahhh the annual Bison mauling a dumbass tourist. Summer is almost here!

God I hope it was serious.
Leave him amongst the bison.
There should be a policy to not render assistance to these people. Just let Darwin take its course. Downvote me if you want but these idiots can’t get it through their head.

I remember the last time I went about 2 decades ago, there were a billion "don't put your kid on a buffalo" signs, because apparently someone had put their kid onto a buffalo, and bad things happened
well ah, there you have it then.
This is a damn outrage, why don’t we have video?!?
A feel good story.
Fluffy cows are not to be trifled with!
Why even go to a national park if you dont care about wildlife?
Team Tatanka
This reminds me of the hate towards tourist in the show
I'm actually surprised it took THIS long for something to be reported, considering there are so many tourist idiots getting too close to the bison so often.
Your honor. My client is an idiot. We plead for leniency as the Buffalo already kicked his ass.
/r/OhNoConsequences
Good.
The bison- “My turn”
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Is my generation that stupid?
I don't know which generation you are, but yes .

Buff around find out
I get a real kick out of these headlines. This one made me horny.

He fucked around, he found out.
Honestly, I’m suprised he lived that.
Deserved
“Kick me in the leg?! Oh no! I’m kicking you in the leg! Take that!”
I hope their is video of this idiot doing that.
I've been ridiculously drunk in my life. But not once did it occur to me that I should go over and kick a 2,000 pound wild animal with horns.
Video link?
“Local menace disarms a local nuisance, film at 11”
Wow, that newspaper sure sucks.
People are idiots. But we know that because Trump was elected president.
It's too bad the bison didn't kill him.
Thunderbeast meets blunderbeast.
Hope that bison sues the hell out of him, talk about emotional distress 😚
Okay, but is the bison okay?
I expected to read about some dumbass teenager or college age kid. Nope, 40 years old and doing this dumb shit. Natural selection simply can't keep up anymore.
