1. Awesome

12. Another news outlet showed it in slo mo..will try to find it

2. Amazing. I got caught in a buffalo jam in Yellowstone with a herd surrounding my car;

It got bumped and jostled but fortunately had only a couple of minor scratches.

People have been gored to death when not in a vehicle and a bison charges.

20. When I were there some idiots

were getting up close to a bison family, maybe 5 or 6 feet. I called out from my car, begging them to back up. They ignored me, and I drove away. When I came back an hour later, there were four ambulances pulling away from that spot. They were all hurt, some seriously.

3. Someone needs to photoshop in a little mouse chasing him. :)

4. Cool

Reminds me of that Florida Panther encounter by a woman on a boardwalk trail a couple of years ago in Naples.

8. I would have had to throw away my pants if that happened to me.

No amount of washing would have helped.

[ornotna]

17. Yep

And the shoes as well. That must have been pretty intense. The fact she was able to record it and not loose it was amazing.

13. Kitteh!

16. Wow

[ornotna]

18. That sums it up

5. I was driving my pickup truck through Yellowstone and a herd of bison crossed

the road right in front of me. I guess the "leader" turned to look at us. The size of him was what shocked me most. His head was a good two feet above the hood and the hump was as high as the roof. Amazing animals. He stood there staring at us until the rest of the herd was safely across the road like crossing guard.

19. Better Half and I were at Wind Cave NP a few years ago . . . .

This was late August, so the rut was approaching. We rounded a corner and a few of the young males were playing, front legs off the ground as they bucked up in the air, and approaching the car pretty quickly. My wife said 'I didn't know they could do that!"

A moment later, a big bull walked a foot from my open window, bellowing. You could feel the car vibrate. Impressive creatures!

7. looked more like a lope than a sprint

but they are impressive--and unsafe--at any speed

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. It's not that impressive; he has all-hoof drive.

[magicarpet]

10. Looked like a bulldozer coming up the road in high gear.

I bet they don't stop on a dime,.. but would go right thru you.

[DontBooVote]

11. That's the most awesome timing for which those tourists could have hoped. What an experience!

14. Around here

people use them to teach cutting horses to cut. They don't sour as quickly as cattle do. I have been in the ring with them but I don't cut cattle. I watched a bunch toppled over with their horses when one got mad and rammed one. They can run very fast when they want to.

15. He was probably pissed that there were cars on HIS road.

I saw a few of them walking the yellow line on the road, about two feet from my car. They were trying to look as if they were ignoring me. They are very into "cool". The Fonz could take lessons.
