Whether captive or wild, bison are unpredictable animals with massive power and petting one is a fool’s errand to say the least. This crew was building power lines on a ranch in Uvalde, Texas when one of the residents came up to investigate. Everyone reached for their phones to record the moment and then this happened. Not sure how tall the dude in the flannel is but it gives you an idea of just how massive bison get.
“We build power lines and this was on a ranch where there was a bunch of bison. A coworker and I decided to try and pet one. He didn’t seem to mind until I walked up and tried to pet him. Well needless to say he knocked me down and gave me a scare of a lifetime.”
