@@TheLorax-2012well aaaaaaaactualy, it depends on what kind of thing you're calling bigger. Bison are a little taller on average but both cape and water buffalo weigh more on average
"We kept our distance", no you didn't, you were within 25 yards. They were violating distance laws put in place to prevent the harassment of wildlife. I'm so sick of tourists harassing wildlife and crying when they get hurt.
If the wildlife can't roam free in our parks, without people having to encroach on them, in the very few places they have left, then we need to close the parks during their mating season at least ! Protecting the animals should be more of a priority. We have no business even being around those animals.
@@Mrbfgray bison typically don’t charge people at Yellowstone. So it is a little unusual, but I agree.. nature is u predictable and people shouldn’t be surprised that a wild animal got territorial.
Having been around bison my entire life, I can tell you that this sort of thing does not happen if you are exercising proper caution. People who are truly hunters and outdoors types, who live in areas where you can encounter a wolf, a bear, a buffalo, or a big cat, know how to avoid this type of situation. It takes years of experience. Do not blame your ignorance for the animals behavior.
I take it you haven’t been to Yellowstone. The bison come right up to roads and main trails. It’s very easy to suddenly be upon with without realizing it.
@@oldageisdumbop’s point is literally made by the behavior of the animals at Yellowstone. How? Bc normal bison have to really be annoyed to charge you. The ones at Yellowstone are SOO USED to people you REALLY have to go out of your way to piss them odd to ge them to do this. Thus…it’s even harder to get fired in Yellowstone bc they are used to being right up on you. This lady was not being careful and was not 60 yrs away. She had to be trying to pet it to have this happen.
@@aerynstormcrow No, I would disagree about his point being made. His point was that these people were negligent and ignorant and I’m saying if you are familiar with Yellowstone you would understand how easy it is to find yourself in a dangerous situation while doing nothing wrong. People are DYING to blame these people and sometimes you have to accept that crap happens and doesn’t mean they are at fault. You have NO CLUE if they were 60 yards away or not and you sure as heck don’t know if she “was trying to pet it” which is just an asinine comment. These are wild animals and they are unpredictable.
He obviously has a lawyer telling him not to say the word “close” and “walk towards” because of the investigation. Why would anything happen if they kept walking away from a bison that’s 60 yards away?
@@user-zp7jp1vk2i I thought he was saying there was one 25-30 yards away and then another one was 60 yards away rolling in dirt and it was that one that must have charged?
I’ve been to Yellowstone multiple times and the story isn’t adding up. 60 yards is a long ways for a bison to feel threatened and charge. Without a video its hard to believe…
They came too close to a 2nd bison. 60 yards is still very close. After he says this. He mentions the attack. You're correct. The bison never stalked these folks.
You ever seen how fast a wild bison can move. They can move 60 yards in the blink of an eye when they want to. People see a huge animal and dont think they can move fast but they do. They will cover 60 yards very quick
He’s foolish going on MSM and telling a version that is not true. His moment of fame is really a moment of foolishness 🤥. She’s lucky to be alive. I follow several bison ranches on social media and am by far not an expert but seriously the tales he is telling doesn’t add up
You can do everything right and still get attacked, this isn't a petting zoo these are wild animals who generally follow behavior patters but not always.
There have been cases of people getting killed for trying to take a picture of a bison after putting their child on top of it. These people must think they're at Disneyland of something.
The poor animals always get blamed. If the humans would stay away from them all would be fine. Wild animals are not lap dogs, they are predators who are scared of humans and perceive them as a threat. Prayers for her that she heals quickly and has learned a lesson. 🙏🏻✝️
Sorry she put herself in harm’s way and hope she recovers. The bison isn’t the only bull in this story and it’s a shame there is no one to tell the truth about how close they got before the incident. Let’s hope he has more respect for wildlife than he has for the American flag.
@@marilynbaer4310 it has a picture of a rifle, made out of the colors of the American flag, on it. There may be some writing, but it's too small for me to make out what it is.
I never left my car at Custer State Park, Animal Loop. Those animals are huge and deserve respect. There should be huge fines for putting the animals at risk.
I saw a moose at close range at Yellowstone. Cars were stopped to see it. I'm not sure that I did the right thing in getting out of my car, but I certainly made sure to keep my car between me and the moose. It was an amazing moment.
@@gbazo762 They were too close or the animal wouldn't have charged. Lawsuite against national parks vs the stupid tourist don't favor the stupid tourist. There is an assumed risk when you enter the park and people violate that all of the time.
@@wanaraz When a person visits Yellowstone, they are given information about wildlife, what to do, what not to do. It's basic safety information, which is disregarded by some, who act as though they are at a theme park and proceed to do whatever they want, consequences be damned. That they didn't think that this would happen to them is a testament to their stupidity and disregard for their own safety.
@@wanaraz People are pre warned and told to stay away from these unpredictable wild animals. Most people manage to negotiate these terms but there are certain people who do not think that the guidelines apply to them. They ignore the warnings and advice at their own peril and suffer the consequences of their actions.
“We’re doing what we’ve been told to do to be safe”?? I’ve never heard that getting within 60 yards of a bison is considered a safety measure! I hope the woman recovers 100%.
My hunch is that had they been doing “what they were TOLD to do” this would not have happened. She would not have been in harms way in the first place. I have been to Yellowstone and there are no areas where people are supposed to be standing in open fields with bison, period. Visitors should either be in their vehicles or on designated trails. But the silver lining here is that this couple realized they have found true love.
If people cannot leave the bison alone, the park needs to close. I have been to Yellowstone and love it, but I love the animals more. I wish the woman a speedy recovery. Having observed what people do in the park, I am not sure this is exactly what happened.
I disagree, people need to learn that wild animals don't want to f****** take a selfie.... Duh!!!! I don't wish harm to anybody but she got what she deserved What does she think was going to happen... Wish you walk up to a f****** cheetah probably not
You can’t shut it down. That park also serves as a preservation area. Believe me, the bison can take care of themselves. When you go to a place like that, you accept liability, knowing you’re in a beautiful but inherently dangerous place. It’s my understanding these people weren’t actually bothering the bison, or trying to get close. It is rutting season & male bison can get pretty ornery. It sounds like wrong place at the wrong time. By the way, I speak as a biologist, preservationist, & nature lover. I know it’s upsetting to see the people who walk right up to bison or moose, but believe me, they’ll either get lucky, or they’ll learn the hard way.
Without 'knowing' what actually happened, I'm guessing the bison weren't right outside their lodge. So, you take a guess. At the same time, I hope this woman recovers well__that was a pretty rough go. 😢🙏😇
Well, if Amber was in any way messing with the bison, she did in fact deserves it. Even if she wasn’t disturbing the bison, they both were too close and should not have been that close and also should have planned an escape route early on …a nearby vehicle, bldg, tree, anything. If you’re in a field with no protection, it’s your fault.
at least she’s alive. sounds like they did all they could to avoid confrontation but this bison was really motivated !!God Bless & get well soon Amber ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think many people truly don’t realize just how wild Yellowstone National Park is. There’s danger pretty much all around you. Just bc it’s called, “a park,” doesn’t mean it idyllic & safe. There’s a lot of things in the park that can kill you, from wild animals, to the terrain, & the elements. I’ve been there 3x (also hiked in the Grand Tetons (grizzlies, moose, cougars, wolves, etc). When I’m out in “the wild,” I think of it like driving a motorcycle. You have to be looking around constantly, & be overly cautious. I’m sorry that happened to that woman. I’m glad she survived.
Yes and if any leftover money you can donate it to the friggin idiot humans for psychiatric help. It’s become like running with the bulls…we gonna see if We Can Pet One…Don’t want to see any whining or crying after it’s all said and done. Leave Them Alone
So here's the thing...my family raised bison, not because they are cute...we raised them to eat. Twice a day, every day for over 10 years I fed and looked over them...not ONCE did we have a nice one... They will tear anything and everything up. I have some doubts about what he said happened ...Granted anything can happen...but, IMO and experience working with bison, they were a hell of a lot closer than they claimed. The one that hurt her was 60 yards away and was rolling in the dirt. That is more than enough time to get away.. ffs the bison head butted her...now why in the hell would a person stand there and have a bull bison charge you....60 YARDS away...I know why, they were way closer than he claims...they can run pretty fast but wallowing in the dirt, 60 yards away, she stands there waiting to be headbutted...if that bison ran that 60 yards and hit her in the head with his, she would of died...the inertia built up by that bull running would of scramble her brains....I've seen it happen to our cattle when one of our bison bulls took the fence down and got in with our cows and bulls. They were close too close....
My friend ran a bison ranch, and the bison hated him…they wrecked his pickups and he would get me to come feed the bison while he sat in the tractor cab, two round bails in the front and three on the back, I’d be riding the pto. And he’d dropped them on this hill, I’d unroll them and get back on, they never bothered me. All he had to do was get out of the cab and the bison would get upset and chase him back into the cab lol lol lol The bison are not dumb, they are just slow and take their time…and they will trample a fool…these are wild animals, stay away from them.
WTF? Why? Do you know your impact on society? Millions of living creatures have died because of you. The building of your home alone killed countless creatures. YOU RAGING HYPOCRITE
Once he opened his mouth he wasn't telling the truth. Bison only charge you at close range , so what really happened dude? . Unfortunately your wife paid the consequences of her actions please save your crocodile tears.
@@dbo8336He shouldn’t even open his mouth then. If you feel you have to lie, fine, lie to your insurance. The whole nation doesn’t need to hear it or donate to help for her stupidity
They did everything right. Thank God she survived. Of all the videos I have seen, of drunken tourists harassing the wildlife, it's so sad, that two people who were being completely respectful of the wildlife, were attacked. I wish nothing but healing, for both of them.
They blame it on the animal and not the people antagonizing the bison. Just like running with the bulls, over in Spain??)(if this a true event) Move over people because they will hurt you. Not a petting zoo to say the least. So sometimes (a lot) that people are idiots and animals are the best
Yesterday's "story" was he was running away and looked over his shoulder to see his fiance' getting gored. Today it's "I told her not to run and we were backing away slowly."
Bison that was 60 yards away was charging at her and she just stood there? I doubt that. She must have been 8-10 ft away from Bison. Anyways, I hope she gets well soon .Wishing her luck.
@@michelletrimmer7431 , I know they can run but still 60 yards is a long enough for someone to react unless they thought bison just is like golden retriever puppy.
They call them "wild animals" for a reason. When you enter a natural environment, you have to be aware of these critters and you are assuming the risk of such encounters. Unlike a lot of animal encounters in national parks, at least these people knew the danger and tried to avoid it but the risk cannot be fully mitigated in such situations.
When I hear of a tragedy like this, I’m reminded how at a buffalo reserve I just visited in Montana, where, despite signs all over to stay in your car, car after car had people getting out and taking pictures, and toddlers were hanging out windows. The Yellowstone people tried to do the right thing, and were still attacked, but I’m amazed how many people think they’re perfectly safe. I’m told those huge beasts can run 35 mph…how fast can YOU RUN?!?
You’re probably the only person who believes that man was telling the truth. Anyone who lives near bison can tell you that doesn’t happen if they were really doing what the guy said they were doing.
Actually, the "Indians" aka Native Americans killed millions of bison, often just for the tongue and hump, leaving the remains to rot in the sun. They would run them over cliffs to their deaths.
@@michellegoodrich7115liar! You would say anything to use as evidence that your people tamed the "savages"(that's the term you really wanted to use)! The natives respected nature to the point that they felt obligated to use every part of every bison killed. Yes, they ate the tongue; but, they used the skin and every other part too. Colonial liar!!
Dear god in heaven let this woman be fully healed! While this is tragic and awful it’s hard to believe they were truly maintaining a safe distance. The distance he has quoted is sufficient yet this happened. I’m suspecting this is a filtered version of events. People are not having enough respect for wildlife and this can be the outcome.
I have been right up to a Bison by accident to the point we could have touched it. We did not see it until was came over the hill. But we simply walked back. I feel sometimes you take photos and your attention span is shortened. You don’t realize just how quick these animals are and how easily it is to get surprised by them. It is part of dangers when getting close to wild life. Bison have every reason to fear people.
Wake up this is not the season to be a tourist in the wild. When birds, animals are mating, the sun is blaring and the energy is intense who wants the smell and sight of humans in the mix. Humans are so arrogant and disrespectful to the wild species. It is a miracle she is not dead!! This month I was walking in an area that although there are some wild animals around the place I was walking is a shopping village. Out of nowhere, never heard a sound very early in the morning, and suddenly I was hit on the side of my head so hard by a crow I thought it was a piece of furniture had fallen from the apartment above. Had me in bed for 2 days. Respect the wild particularly during nesting season and the deep heat. Peace to the World.
It’s not an accident, she approached the bison on purpose. How many times do you have to be told?!! I’m a Montana gal and I like to see the animal win once in awhile. So stay the hell away or respect the rules. Go fund me?….. ridiculous.
We were slowly driving through Yellowstone and there was a herd of Bison at the edge of the road. All of a sudden on my left side there was a couple on a motorcycle and they stayed there keeping my truck between them and the bison. Smart people!
Our van was attacked by a bison while maneuvering around him on the road in Yellowstone a week and a half ago. I was following in a second vehicle and the FORCE those animals have is incredible. We have a big dent and scratch to the metal from it’s horn. We pulled over when we were a safe distance and park workers that saw the attack stopped as well. They said it is their rut season so they are more aggressive. I’m just thankful it wasn’t a motorcyclist going around him at that point! So sorry for this woman and I can attest to how aggressive they are right now!
Ill translate for the guy "she got too close and when I was screaming at her to move her a** she was too slow and the bison got her and flipped her in the air!" Thats really what happened. Stop blaming bison for doing bison stuff.
I was at Yellowstone last year and you wouldnt believe these idiots. A man with a baby in a stroller less than 10 feet away from a bison with a small wooden fence separating them. But god forbid my nephews ride their bikes on a trail that wasnt even marked a no bike zone. Honesty, the park rangers there kind of suck. They seem more concerned with arbitrary rules that allow them to collect fine money than protecting the animals and keeping them safe.
Yellowstone is an amazing and Beautiful place with the possibility of seeing these wild animals up close. Unfortunate these people didn’t respect the advice the place or the animals. Fortunately she is still alive, Hopefully she recovers fully.
It’s breeding season!! Was this a bull? I’m glad she’s alive! I follow a Bison Rancher in Oklahoma and I have some issues with what this guy said! I’m betting there were Red Dogs on the ground too and with Breeding season going on, why were people even around these Bison in the first place? Bison with babies and coming into heat is just not a place for humans to go anywhere near these animals!!
When they have calves the bison are very dangerous and will stampede in a herd. I really hated having to separate them from the calves, but we had to catch the sick ones, and them antibiotics or they would die The main herd would be screaming, snorting, crashing on the separating corral. And tiny bison are just as dangerous, they are really fast and can jump 8 to 10 feet in the air when in the squeeze chute…
If I've learned anything from The Behavior Panel, it's that his extended eye closure when talking about what happened (at 1:06) reveals that he's lying about what happened. He lies throughout 0:21, 0:50, 1:20, 1:26, 1:38, 1:44, 1:48, 1:53, 1:56. This guy's eye blocking is crazy, barely kept his eyes open.
If they had just left their lodge, why not turn and go back there? Why continue walking past the bison? 25 feet is pretty close. You would think people would know by now how dangerous the bison can be.
That is because he's even dumber as is evidenced by the assault riffle with the American flag colors on his t-shirt. Gee, I wonder who he supports in 2024?
