A couple was recently filmed appearing to be running from a large bison herd. What comes to question though, is why were they actually running "with" the massive animals?
Wyoming has a very relaxed and hard working lifestyle. We work hard and like to kick back and enjoy our space. Wyomingites don't care too much for outside influence and like to do things their own way. Despite being pretty laid back there are certain things that will make Wyomingites angry.
"Don't pet the wildlife". This seems like a no-brainer to the average Wyomingite, but for some strange reason, a large percentage of our annual tourist population just doesn't get it.
I would love to say this is an oldie but a goodie. Unfortunately, it's not good. It's that time several years ago when Yellowstone was once again made famous because of tourists doing dumb things around wildlife.
When I think of my favorite viral moments from Yellowstone National Park, this is among the best of the best. It's that fun time when a bull elk took a severe dislike to a snowmobile and decided to challenge it (and everything else) to a fight.
Trying to get closer to bison is dangerous for many reasons. It's obvious these are large animals, but they're also wildly unpredictable. Yellowstone tourists learned this lesson the hard way a few weeks ago.
Bears get a lot of attention in Wyoming, but none quite as much as Grizzly 399. She has become a legend and that has become a big problem this year more than most.
Yellowstone National Park is one of Wyoming's treasures. Millions of people from all over the world have come to Wyoming to enjoy the park. Many of these visitors arrive and enjoy without any incident. However in every bunch, there are a few bad apples.
