Leave it to the unfiltered mind of a 7-year-old kid to accurately explain why visitors constantly break the rules at Yellowstone National Park and put their well being in danger everyday:
Mom: Should we try to go see that geyser over there?
Kid: No because there’s huge buffalo crossing
Mom: We gotta wait for them cross…why?
Kid: Because otherwise we’ll get rammed.
Mom: How come all those people aren’t waiting?
Kid: Because they’re stupid.
Bravo kid, couldn’t have put better myself. That’s exactly why they do that 😂😂😂
Yellowstone Bison Guidelines:
Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. Bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans. Always stay at least 25 yards (23 m) away from bison.
- Give bison space when they are near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in close proximity. 
- Approaching bison threatens them, and they may respond by bluff charging, head bobbing, pawing, bellowing, or snorting. These are warning signs that you are too close and that a charge is imminent.
- Do not stand your ground. Immediately walk or run away from the animal. Spray bear spray as you are moving away if the animal follows you.
