Shocking video shows a Yellowstone National Park Grizzly Bear attacking, and eventually, killing a Wild Bison near a public parking lot!
"We knew the bear was in the area, as we saw it near the road, less than a mile before turning into the parking lot for the grand Prismatic Overlook hike. While there was a steady flow of walkers, we carried bear spray and remained on the lookout for the bear the entire time.
We weren’t crazy about returning to find the bear so close, just beyond the opposite side of the small parking area. We didn’t even see it until we were at our vehicle. I was particularly relieved that the bear seemed more interested in the bison, so while very close to the car, we simply maintained what felt like a safe distance.
Having lived nearby for decades not minutes, we certainly don’t want our actions or the appearance of our proximity to the animals to set any kind of bad example about approaching wildlife. The camera on this phone boasts a pretty amazing lens and zoom capabilities. So I was able to get all the shots from further than it may appear. The kids enjoyed watching safely from the sunroof of the car. Thanks for the concern, just the same.
Thanks too for all the feedback and comments on my spelling (loser v looser? Fat fingers for sure!). And thanks for the feedback on the music as well! Didn’t know that either would bring out such negative comments by a handful of complete strangers with so much time on their hands?! This was not made for them!
Unfortunately I don’t know how to fix these and still keep the same link to the video. Plus to replace the music with the sounds of nature, I would have had to try to figure out how to edit in a bunch of fake nature noises to drown out all the wind noise. The allowable rights-free RU-vid tracks seemed easiest at the time. Apologies to music lovers and lovers of natural sounds alike!"
