If you ever happen to visit Yellowstone National Park, you'll notice that one of the things the Park Service tries to drill into your head is that you should not approach the wildlife. They are just that--wildlife. For some reason, folks assume that because a bison is docile most of the time and doesn't move very fast, that this emans the things are just like big cows. This is not, in fact, the case. Yes, bison often appear rather slow and docile, but those things can move. When they charge (which they do whenever provoked or when they feel threatened), they can get moving upwards of 35-40 miles per hour. Humans can't run that fast. And those lumps on the back of a bison's neck? Pure muscle. You know what that lump of muscle is good for? Tossing things twenty or thirty feet up in the air, and then goring whatever they tossed whenever it finally lands. The funny thing is, the Park Service warns you about this at every turn--there are signs as you come into the park, signs up all over the park, notices in the pamphlets and newspapers they give you, and the rangers themselves mention it damn-near every time they talk to you. And yet there are still people who will disregard all this, assuming the rules don't apply to them. Those are the people you end up seeing in the home video footage they have at one of the visitor centers--footage of tourists getting tossed around like ragdolls and getting gored because they were too damn stupid to stay away from the "big cows." And then Clif and I would laugh at the idiots, because they had ample warning and still walked right up to the bison.
