Bison Are Narcissistic, and Other Wild Animal Stories...
14 years ago
Well, I'm back from out West and slowly catching up on FA news! Submission-wise I'm still hopelessly behind of course x_x As always, many apologies to anyone I'm watching whose work I'm not up to date on! I'll get there eventually... hopefully... maybe ;_;
But anyway, something I saw on the trip got me wondering: what's the funniest thing you've seen a wild animal do?
We just had a hilarious bison encounter, as one is bound to have in Yellowstone. It was dusk at Old Faithful, and dozens of tourists (including myself) were watching the geyser's last eruption before dark. Little did we know that while we were distracted, all 'ooo'ing and 'ahh'ing, a bison had wandered onto the grounds behind us. Well apparently he decided that the grass must be greener on the other side of the wall of people; so he parted the sea of surprised tourists and strolled right in front of Old Faithful, where he promptly parked it and grazed. If you ask me, I think he was just jealous that the photographers were taking pics of the geyser and not him ;) (Bison are very vain, you know!) So we obliged!
Any of you guys have any wild animal stories you want to share?

luckily someone with more intelligence talked the idiot into taking a few steps back and the bison went back to eating the grass. seriously, theres a MAJOR difference between zoos and national parks people! there are no plexiglass windows seperating you from the animals in the wild! 0_o
