Bison seem lazy and docile grazing in the sun. They are massive and look as if they can hardly move. Do not be fooled. They are wild animals. They can spring to their feet in an instant if they feel threatened. They can leap over fences and run 35 miles per hour. They can hurl you high in the air with one toss of a horn. The bison know where you are, so be aware of their personal space at all times. Do not frighten them or give them a reason to be angry. They are dangerous and unpredictable. People have been killed by bison in Yellowstone. Please respect them.Be Safe✔ALWAYS be alert.✔ NEVER approach bison.✔ ALWAYS stay at least 25+ yards (23 m) away. More space is better.✔ Make sure there is an escape route for you AND the bison.✔ Get a closer look with a spotting scope, telephoto lens, or binoculars.✔ Remain in your vehicle if you encounter bison on the road.✔ Keep an eye on the tail. If a bison watches you and its tail goes up, it is a sign for you to pay attention. Don't wait. Get away.
