Bison are the largest land-dwelling mammal in North America. Males weigh about 2000 lb and can jump over objects about 5 feet high and have excellent hearing, vision, and sense of smell. Even though the animals of Yellowstone seem tame they are still wild. I found a lot of people forgetting this and getting too close to them. Result is the there are many people gorged each year.

What a wonderful shot. I love that sky in particular. I knew bison were dangerous but I didn't think people would be stupid enough to get near them. Mind you I shouldn't be amazed as people do strange things
I can hear the music from a certain to programme as I look at this lovely photo.......big country! Wide open spaces & that sky is awesome!

OK, that was interesting information.....never really heard of people being gorged by bison, but I guess one should respect animals of that size in the wild!! This is a gorgeous photo with that incredible sky above, and the dots of bison against the yellow grass below! FAV!
Wow - your composition on this is fabulous - of course the bison are awesome - love seeing them - but the clouds really got my attention tonight - love the way they spread out like rays. Beautiful colors.
Some people are just too stupid for their own good...
A fav. view and capture.
