Bison at Bay: Yellowstone's Wild Card The recent bison attack on a tourist in Yellowstone National Park serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with interacting with wildlife.
America's wildlife heritage comes with its own set of rules, which often go unheeded by visitors who underestimate these magnificent creatures. Bison can be unpredictable and powerful, weighing over 2,000 pounds.
For years, park rangers have been warning visitors about the dangers of approaching bison, yet tourists continue to ignore warnings or take unnecessary risks.
