Never would I think I would see the day, where a bison charges a guy for roaring at it. Quite the sight to behold. Let us take a closer look.
Where?
Yellowstone National Park has many things to offer. Seeing bison is one of the top priorities for visitors. It is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness area that happens to be atop a volcanic hot spot.
When Near A Bison
If you ever come across a bison on foot, first things first, get back into your car. If a car isn’t near you, try back up slowly and try put a tree or something large in between you and the animal. This bison charges the guy roaring easily as there was just empty space between them.
What Not To Do
Do not assume intimidating positions. Most certainly, do not roar or make other large dominating sounds as you do not want to make it feel threatened. It may feel cornered, then it will definitely charge you in defense.
If In Doubt
If you are not sure what animals are in the area, it is best to watch the wildlife from the car. It is also good to check the rules of the park you are in; if you should stay in the car or not.

Are bison and buffalo the same?
No, bison and buffalo are different species. Bison are native to North America and Europe, while buffalo are found in Africa and Asia. They are similar in appearance but have distinct differences.
What is the conservation status of bison?
Bison were once near extinction due to overhunting and habitat loss. Conservation efforts have helped their populations recover, and they are no longer endangered but are still considered near threatened.
How do bison survive winter?
Bison are well adapted to cold climates. Their thick coats provide insulation, and they use their strong heads to move snow aside to find food. They also have a slow metabolism to conserve energy.
Can bison run fast?
Yes, bison are surprisingly fast for their size. They can run up to 35 miles per hour. This speed helps them escape predators and cover large distances in search of food.
What is a bison’s role in the ecosystem?
Bison play a crucial role in their ecosystem. As grazers, they help maintain grassland health by preventing overgrowth and promoting plant diversity. Their movements also help aerate the soil.
How do bison care for their young?
Bison cows give birth to one calf, which they nurse and protect. The herd offers additional protection, with adults forming a circle around the young if threatened by predators.
What are the social structures of bison herds?
Bison herds have a matriarchal structure, led by older females. Males typically live separately or form smaller bachelor groups, joining the main herd during the mating season.
How do bison contribute to Native American culture?
Bison hold significant cultural and spiritual importance for many Native American groups. They are a source of food, clothing, and materials, and feature prominently in myths and ceremonies.
What threats do bison face today?
Bison face threats from habitat loss, disease, and genetic issues due to small population sizes. Conservation efforts continue to address these challenges to ensure their long-term survival.
