Stupid is as stupid does.

Horns, teeth, and claws, oh my. Mess with the Bull get the horns. Part of natural selection.

 

I have to admit, I only clicked in the link because I actually thought I was going to see the bison gore the lady. The lady didn't think this through. Old as she is, she is lucky to be living

 

Yea my parents had 8.

They always told us 6 of us were an accident and the other 2 were in case they lost 1 or 2

 

I rode through Yellowstone last summer, I was not surprised by the stupidity on display by vacationers stopping and gawking or getting out of their vehicles when there was a critter on the side of the road. see it often enough in Jasper Park and Banff up here.

we were headed to Gardiner to park for the night and there was a stoppage of traffic we came up on, figured there had to be a critter ahead the people were stopped for. we just pulled into the oncoming lane and crawled alongside all the vehicles until we got up to the crowd. it was a grizzly bear in the ditch, with about 25 people standing in the middle of the road with folks competing to get closer to it for photos.

the closest person was about 20 feet from the griz, with their back to it, so they could get a selfie with a bear...with about a half dozen people at the ready to do the same. the bear was sitting, facing the road, probably waiting for natural selection to take it's course.

we didn't stop. had the road to ourselves for the next 30 miles. refreshing.

 

this is the closest I've ever been to one outside, this one is a woods buffalo at Liard Hot Springs, north America's largest terrestrial land animal. we were camped in tents in the overflow across the highway from the hot springs, on top of the grass berm separating the roadside turnout and camper overflow parking having a drink outside our tents after the day's ride. this guy decided he was thirsty and slurped up the puddle about 20 feet away from us. we just sat really still.

 

Stayed at Liard Hot Springs when i rode my bike back from Alaska in 1972.
