Yup. Just went to Yellowstone and that was the one I was most worried about as far as animals go. I’m just worried they will come out of nowhere and mow you down.
You don't want to know what will happen if you hit them with a vehicle.

I been Yellowstone three times, never even thought about them. Especially never worried about them. But Bison those guys are just waiting to mess you up.
It’s crazy how close people were getting to the bison. It’s a giant wild animal… enjoy your Darwin Award, I guess.
They are literally a aggressive animal that will and does kill people. But they look so timid and why they sell shirts and bumper stickers that say Don't pet the fluffy cows.
For me I think they remember what we did to them and that is why they fucking hate us. I seen them literally sit in the middle ot the road and glare at the drivers.
Have you gone to the Bison museum in West Yellowstone?
Didn’t go there even though we stayed in West Yellowstone, mostly because we were completely wiped out after a 9-hour day at the park. Did we miss out.
That rookie numbers got to pump the numbers up. We like to stay a week at a time. Stil can't do everything. And I have been.three years in a row. Was supposed to go this year but miss out.
The view from the top of Purple Mountain. Climb that and almost wiped out my boys in 2023.
That’s pretty! I definitely want to stay for longer next time. This year we did Glacier and Yellowstone in the same vacation, it was great but could be extended or split into two trips.
It was a beautiful scence. But it took us all damn day to climb that Mountain. It was supposed to be 3 miles, but man it felt much longer.
Edit: one cool thing is at the top you write your name on a sheet to prove you made it.
I bet there was quite the elevation gain. The miles, they lie!
Yes and doesn't help that it was a winding path
Some other shots from the park:
This were fun to ride.
Was super hot and wife got overheated walking down to this water.
I love the park and can't wait to go back.
Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing! We did an audio tour while riding around, making stops and seeing the sights. Next time we’ll explore in more detail.

Saw one in a yard in anchorage. It's like deer are in the Midwest
Some of the last surviving Megafauna, yep.
Some of the most successful species on the planet are megafauna: cattle, and your mom
They're huge and dumb. They can trample, and did i mention how huge they are? The first time I saw one up close it was a surprise to the both of us. About shat myself.
Fun fact, orcas are considered a natural predator of moose
I bet that's a delicacy in orca society.
Would you rather…:
• …encounter a moose in the water
• …encounter a great white on land
Def option 2 for me…
What about two feet of jelly?
Well part of Moose habitat is swamps, bog, marshes, lakes, the ocean, forests, plains, scrubland.....
Two feet of jelly probably wouldn't phase them.
Sharks would have a few difficulties.
Did you just say moose live in the ocean??
Certian types of Moose like a type of seaweed that grows at a depth that they have to dive to get at. They can swim rather well for a terrestrial animal over a ton.
I've seen footage of them swimming in rivers/lakes, but I didn't know they went in the ocean.
It's how the orcas eat them
Now hold on there for a minute.
I will fight a sexy sharkette in the jello pool.
Have fun, and good luck!
Actually scarier, cuz I feel like moose are way more likely to fuck you up than sharks if you take into account how often humans interact with them
Moose will attack you, but a lot of the deaths they cause are from hitting them with vehicles.
i seen alot of stupid people trying to approach a moose(videos). they arnt deer, or dogs.
Dear and dogs kill more people per year.
Fucked up that they can swim tbh
They can dive.
Legitimately scarier than a shark.
The ironic part is that they cause more deaths than sharks
A møøse once bit my sister…
Her fault if she was carving her initials into it tbh
I first thought she is transporting two chairs on her shoulder.
I thought it was an antenna hat
"Moose Jaws"
Ma-oose, Ma-oose. maoose maoose. maoose maoose maoose maoose. moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose moose
We‘ll need a bigger boat
I honestly can't think of many scenarios more terrifying than this. Better hope your carrying a gun in that situation so you can take the easy way out
There is no place safe. He kills in the water and on land. A must see "Mooooose eh!" Coming soon to at least two theaters.
