It was a bison,
badly burned from an encounter with one of the numerous hot spots in
Yellowstone National Park.
...
A grizzly was
chasing the buffalo (which was practically cooked already) and gaining
quickly.
....
The two beasts passed the man by without paying any notice.
The result: these
14 hair-raising pictures.
We pick our tale
up where the photos end.
Wypiszinski says
once in the safety of the woods the bison out maneuvered the grizzly,
escaping to live exactly one more day.
Park rangers had
to put the bison down due to the injuries it sustained.
Wypiszinski said
the whole event was over just as quickly as it happened.
Just another day
in Yellowstone National Park. [Full story and 14
pictures]

Such a heart break to see that bison suffering the ravages of a hot spring. However, better if the bear got to eat him than just be put down by a ranger.
ReplyDeleteMedium rare buffalo-yum!

A metaphor for the Montana-Colorado game?
ReplyDeleteThe bear's thought. Why would I want to gnaw on a stringy funny tasting human when there is this wonderful smelling BBQ on hoof All I got to do is catch it.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo thought, Someone shoot Me please so I wont be eaten alive.
The man with the camera's thought. Oh S*** Ho S*** Oh S***..

ReplyDelete(...and these self-same folks vote...truly terrifying!)
I don't know about you, SherryM, but I've been known to snag a bit of cold cut on my way to the barbecue for another full-size hamburger.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the bear isn't as easily distracted as I am.
