The 16-year-old Taiwanese exchange student and her host family were hiking near Old Faithful Geyser on Friday afternoon when they came across a bison grazing, according to a news release from the National Park Service. The group was between 3 and 6 feet away from the animal at the time.
When the teen turned her back to the bison to have her picture taken, the bison took a few steps and "gored her," the National Park Service reported.

But yeah, they'll do that. Don't **** with buffalo.
True but trust me, the bison are just getting warmed up for the start of tourist season. :-) More selfie sticks and their owners will go air born before long. [Reply]

Try to hit the Beartooth Rally July 15-17. And once again, ride the Beartooths from Red Lodge to Cooke City. Don't take the Cody route. It's not the same! [Reply]
Yeah sorry I didn't mean Bison and Elk weigh less than us, just that most wildlife in the park does. That said, I have never seen any Bison or Elk anywhere near any of the active geological features in the park. [Reply]

I just assumed it was a statement about American obesity rates. [Reply]

Yeah you're right Dave. There was a story a couple of years ago of some bison that wondered out and got burned badly. There were some nasty looking pictures to go along with the story. If I remember correctly they ended up putting a few down because of the 3rd degree burns. [Reply]

That's because natural survival instincts outweigh human curiosity. An Elk doesn't give fuck all about how interesting the springs look. He just recognizes it's abnormal and nopes the hell out of there. [Reply]
