In the video (click here<\/a> to watch the video if the embed does not appear), a bison is clearly seen being motioned to by children who are out of their parents’ car window.<\/p>\n As the poster puts it, “Kid gets rocked.” The animal can be clearly seen trying to headbutt the side of the car window where the kids are hanging out.<\/p>\n An article<\/a> by Whiskey Riff puts the encounter into further context, explaining that the event happened at a safari drive-thru where visitors are explicitly instructed to stay fully inside their vehicles. Luckily, the kids in the video were unharmed.<\/p>\n Encounters like this frequently occur in Yellowstone National Park, where bison herds are seemingly everywhere you look. While the National Park Service recommends<\/a> maintaining at least 25 yards from any animal (and even farther away from predators), some people just can’t stay away, resulting in instances like this one.<\/p>\n One Yellowstone tourist was knocked straight over by a bison, and a group of people were recently charged by one, with one person being gored by the bison.<\/p>\n While the potential dangers for humans are clear, with bison weighing in at up to 2,000 pounds<\/a>, these sorts of negative encounters are just as dangerous for the animals. Whether provoked or not, a human encounter with a wild animal can result in the animal being moved to a new area or even euthanized.<\/p>\n The first step in protecting wildlife is respecting it. By maintaining a safe distance and following wildlife regulations, we can all keep enjoying the company of magnificent creatures like the bison. Educating your friends and family<\/a> on issues like wildlife safety can help you go the extra mile in protecting animals.<\/p>\n Commenters on the Reddit post of the children being charged by the bison expressed their disturbance over the parents allowing such an event to occur.<\/p>\n “This level of reckless child endangerment needs to get fined by default every time it occurs,” one user said<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another added<\/a>, “That means get out of my park, in Bison.”<\/p>\n \ufffd\ufffd<\/p>\n Get TCD’s free newsletters<\/a> for easy tips to save more, waste less, and make smarter choices \u2014 and earn up to $5,000 toward clean upgrades in TCD’s exclusive Rewards Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Visiting national parks, zoos, or other places where animals can be viewed is a great way to learn…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":398614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[188908,103234,159,67,132,68,989,18853,9536,837],"class_list":{"0":"post-398613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-bison-farm","9":"tag-bison-herds","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-video","15":"tag-wild-animal","16":"tag-wild-animals","17":"tag-wildlife"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115597724399553156","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/398614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/d170c6e17556aff9a6e48b2b467ef4ed.jpeg\"\/)
