The Stunning Moment a Wild Bison Charges a Child in Yellowstone!

Could this be one of the most naive adults you’ve ever seen?

A video taken in Yellowstone National Park in early August is stirring quite the debate after it shows what appears to be a parent encouraging children to approach a wild bison, and then that bison charges a child who barely escapes being trampled.

In the video, the man filming the event can be heard talking about how angry the bison appears. But that doesn’t stop one adult — in the blue tank top — from approaching the wild animal along with a group of kids. After several seconds of the bison spitting, shaking his head, and curling his tail he finally snaps and then takes off after a child. The child then runs for his life before circling back to the adult.

Watch the video below:

“This is a wild place, and these are wild animals,”  Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash told KXLH-TV as a result of the video. “They are bigger than you, and the only person who can look out for your safety is you.”

Andrea Jones, spokeswoman for Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks, said there are telling signs to look for from a bison to determine if a bison is aggravated: stomping, snorting, shaking head side to side, and a tail straight up or curled like a ‘question mark’ above its back. The bison in the video displayed all of those.

The West Montana Chamber posted the video on its Facebook page and said it was “angry” over the actions of the adults in the video:

This video is one that makes us angry, expecially [sic] at the irresponsible person behind the camera urging the children “to go ahead and touch him.” This group has no idea how incredibly lucky they were that no one was injured or killed. Yellowstone is an incredible place that allows us all to experience wildlife in a way that can you can no where in the world. But, it is also a place where safety rules, regarding wildlife and thermal features, are so important to follow. As a leader or parent or guide, it is your responsiblity [sic] to take the time to understand and follow them, and provide the example for others.

What do you think?

      Does politics have to do with bison? A bison doesn’t know political affiliation. If all you are going to do on here is post taunts and insults, go back to HuffPo, where that is accepted and encouraged.

      if their parents were republicans he would of had a shotgun or a bow and arrow and killed the bison considering he ran I would say he is a liberal upbringing ..LOL and he probably went to school the next day and touted how he stared down a bull.

      You’re an idiot but since it’s coming from a liberal progressive, no big surprise. This story isn’t about politics but that’s all you guys can think about. Everything has a political slant. duh.

      Although they guy says that you have to look out for yourself, I would bet top dollar that if the child was injured, the parents would sue and Yellowstone would have to pay up. Best to keep wild animals and stupid people apart.

      It comes down to ignorance. International visitors from all parts of the world that come to our national parks think the animals are tame and safe. After all, they are in a park, right?

      People do that with bears, moose, coyotes, deer, and bison. About 10 years ago, a child was killed by a deer’s hooves when the child’s parents told him to go stand next to the deer for a picture…

      Sorry but when I worked up there it was always some lib. that wanted to join with nature and its’ creatures. We had one of many incidents where one man put his small child on the back of a black bear. So much for that. After he was sedated and did an interview much later he claimed that he was kind and loving of the animals and couldn’t understand what happened. He approached by feeding the bear. It was over in seconds and like all socialist libs. it will haunt forever. Sure wish more kind and caring tolerant libs., would feed the bears standing next to the kind and loving wild animal.

      For the number of children unaccompanied by adults I easily con say this was a school field trip, and the only adult that you see might be one of the teachers in charge.

      As someone who has dealt with Bison, you never trust them beyond what you can do for safety. Think of them in human athletic terms this way… for speed faster than Usan Bolt (top speed 35 mph); for agility and aggressiveness… Combine Herschel Walker, Howie Long, Lyle Alzado, and MMA Champion Anderson Silva.
      The corral pen has a sign, “Don’t enter the pen if you can’t  run across in less than 6 seconds. The bull can do it in 5.9.” The “retaining” walls for the shoot to the squeeze box is 7 feet high with a cat walk on the outside that puts your eye level at around 8. When the six foot tall, 11′ foot long, 2000 lb. bull jumps up from all fours, they look you straight in the eye.
      If you think you could ever be “safe” near one in “the wild”, for your and others safety, you don’t belong outside city limits.
      FREEDOMNETWORKER… Shotgun or bow and arrow?! At that range, if you don’t get a clean shot the first time there won’t be a second.

If you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut. I think that these people are not very bright to stand so close to a Bison and think that it’s okay to do that. Animals can sense fear. And I certainly don’t think it’s funny that a kid almost got trampled on.

      Here in the Conservative Country of Kansas where Bison are the State Animal, us Kansans know that Bison can run in short distances as fast as a cheetah and jump more than 6 feet vertically. They will run you down and stomp your liberal a$$ into a greasy, bloody, mud hole. That’s why they are one of my favorite animals I guess. They know the shallow end of the gene pool when they see it.

      As an animal lover ( and just all around intelligent person ) I KNOW that any wild animal should not be approached like that. Bison are known to be able to literally throw a full grown horse over their heads with their incredibly strong necks. Idiot democrats who want to somehow make a political joke out of this potential tragedy aren’t much smarter than what bison drop on the ground after consuming
      lots of grass. Give it a rest and…SCAT!

      There are signs to not bother the buffalo. IF the buffalo had really intended to nail the stupid, annoying kid, the buffalo would have run right over him. The buffalo was simply trying to chase away the morons that that park system had allowed into the park.

      Hopefully these people adults and children will be on a ‘no park list’ like a ‘no fly list’ for ever. These are the people who are so selfish that the ruin things for the rest of the park goers. Now the other people who are ahead of them on the trail will be coming across this buffalo who is stressed out by these fools.

      What a bunch of clods! Parents and KIDS…..

      Once we were at Yellow Stone and saw bunch if morons who thought it would be cool to get out and PET a buffalo. There were signs posted — do not get out of your vehicle with buffalo nearby. So out they hoped and walks past the natural barriers to go and pet the buffalo while another group of fools photographed them .

    Even after being chased, the idiots don’t get it. Laughing all the way. UGH. The dork in the blue should have been trampled just to wipe the stupid smile off his face.

      In today’s world, it’s the bison that will be targeted.
      1. Idiot Australian gets bit in twain by shark. “Find it and kill it!”
      2. Idiot photographer hangs around bear and is mauled after wearing out his welcome. “Find it and kill it!”
      I guaran-damn-tee you if that kid was trampled, that bison would have been targeted for the crime of killing a human being that pressed itself upon a wild animal. Justice? I don’t know about that, but it sure seems to be the trend… even with a lot of bleeding hearts. We must have blood for blood.
      Bison’s house, bison’s rules. I say all animals are allowed to defend themselves in their natural habitat..
      As for wishing ill on anyone, that’s bad gris gris, friend. At some point, YOU could be the dork in blue. Won’t that suck?
      Man, I love when The Blaze offers up these lil’ animal encounter/slice of life stories. The comments are priceless.

    Just before a bison charges, the tail will be straight up or curled like the Montana lady from the fish and game spoke of in the article. I have witness this many times. If the bison had really wanted to
    reach that boy he could have as a bison is much faster than any person running. The boardwalk is what saved that boy as the bison didn’t like to run on the boardwalk I can’t believe how uninformed people are of wildlife and the potential danger. I once saw a women in Yellowstone get out of a car and walk up to a grizzly cub to take a picture, and the cub charged and bit her on the ankle drawing blood.

      This is what is so strange, they are informed, and warned, but choose to ignore the information.

      Bwa ha ha!!! REAL men laugh in the face of danger!
      What is the socially appropriate and broadcast-friendly response? Weeping while calling for the National Guard?

      REAL men protect their families…they don’t let their kid go near a thousand+ pound animal while keeping themselves at a safe distance. Real manly…

    It’s all fun and games…. This is not a shaggy person enjoying the attention, but that’s what is marketed to kids (and adults) thru a lot of talking animal movies. Meh, you mess with the bison, you may get the horn and hoof. Boo hoo. I’m not on this planet to save other people from their stupidity. I figure I do well enough in trying to protect me and mine. I don’t paticularly care about these idiots. What do you expect from a society so enamored with “reality” productions?
    Cue the “WE GOTTA BAN PEOPLE FROM THE PARK!” busybodies in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. The way I see it, this was a potential object lesson that didn’t happen. Maybe next time they can poke a bear.

    Every person enering Yellowston gets a park map and a BIG Yellow Warning Handbill saying ” every year tourists are gored by Buffalo in Yellostone Park, Do Not approach! Wildlife are Dangerous”. Maybe these foreigners do not read English. Yellostone is not a petting Zoo.

      Well, they sure as hell spoke English. How do you conclude these are “foreigners” from the video? Oh, that’s right: Americans AREN”T idiots. Come on, brother. These people are clearly speaking English with the kid in most danger being identified as “Justin.” I hear no accents or foreign tongues. Let’s keep it to what we can base on fact.
      These idiots MAY be Canadian, eh? Okay, MAYBE they’re foreigners, but Asian features don’t rule out anyone from being an American. Submitted respectfully.
      You’re post skirts at insinuating the bison was racist. Wacky.

    Well, Stupid got lucky, again! Crowding a wild animal, not knowing about the moves it displayed, kept crowding! When a Bison, like this one makes moves telling idiots to move on, crowding its space, but the kids keep moving closer. All were lucky.
