The Very Important Detail About That Video of Bison ‘Running for Their Lives’ Out of Yellowstone | Video | TheBlaze.com

This week, a video has been circulating claiming to show a herd of bison “running for their lives” out of Yellowstone National Park. The suggestion has been that the animals are sensing imminent danger associated with a volcano in the area.

But there’s just one problem park officials told Reuters that the video actually shows the bison galloping into the park, not out of it.

Below is what appears to be the most popular version, which includes some alarming claims:

In fact, one person who claims to be the person behind the original video (many versions have been posted) of the bison running included a detailed description of where the event occurred, and said it’s actually an annual occurrence:

March 14, 2014 — This herd of Yellowstone National Park Bison dashes from Mammoth Hot Springs eastward along the roadway and deeper into the park. If the herd matriarch gets the urge to run, she will … and the entire herd will run to keep up.

I’ve been lucky enough to live and work here year-round in Yellowstone National Park since 2010, and every Spring I am blessed to witness them running … in a celebration of life, in a celebration of the coming richness of the Spring Season … and running for the sheer joy of being able to!

When Yellowstone blows, I think it will be as much of a surprise to the local wildlife as it is to us humans..

Sadly I think that'll be pretty much history for the USA and possibly much of the would.. Unless ya live down under

How far off the ground do they have to be before it becomes not reportable?

That would be all forms of life leaving at the same time and what assurance is there that they have picked the right direction?

Grass a little greener on the weekends?

If the big one (Supervolcano) blows, and drops the global temp by
20C like what was claimed in the video.....you'd have to be down
under the Earth to ride out that one....& who knows how long for?
