An incredible moving sight is a small group of bison (which has two cute babies) walking slowly along the road in the park while cars are driving extremely slowly next to them. The drivers and passengers all seem delighted at the unexpected sight. Meanwhile, the opposite side of the road is completely stopped.
The video humorously refers to this as a “bison jam” and poses a question to people who have not seen this event before.
The comments section has a lot of good advice, but it all comes down to the same point: Respect the bison and the land. Getting the chance to see a bison up close is awesome, but people need to realize these animals are not here to entertain you. They are a reminder that we are in the wild, and we are just visitors in their home.
What do the other viewers recommend? Stay inside your car. Keep your windows closed. Stay quiet. Do not make contact. Most importantly, appreciate the opportunity to see this incredible view. One commenter states, “Remember, this is their home, not yours.”
While they normally capture tourists not following the rules, this video shows a nice change of pace. It is heartwarming to see everyone playing by the rules. It is a nice change of pace to see everyone playing by the rules and to see people and nature getting along so well.
Videos likes these show us a special moment in nature. The large bison wander about the road, showing little care for the idling vehicles. The adorable little bison calves are most likely very protected in the center of the herd. Observing bison and calves is quite rare and it’s normal to feel liked captivated.
While Yellowstone National Park provides us with an opportunity to experience the wilderness firsthand, it also represents the equilibrium of our romanticism with the raw beauty of nature.
This “bison jam” shows us how to respect animals on the road when it could have ended badly for the animals and the people in the videos from @TouronsofYellowstone. This is also a great example of how we can admire nature from our cars and the need to protect and keep the beauty that is outside our windows.
If you end up getting stuck in a *bison jam*, consider yourself fortunate! Take the advice of those who value these moments, and enjoy the *wildlife* experience!
