Old Faithful Lodge, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming — (Scroll down) — Info From Licensor: “Opening weekend at Yellowstone National Park. After watching Old Faithful erupt we were in our truck on the backside of the lodge, where we saw in the distance a woman whom seemed entirely too close to the bull bison we noticed earlier during the eruption.<\/p>\n
We stopped the truck and I rolled down the window to yell at her that she was too close. We were all audibly reacting and in shock at what we were witnessing.<\/p>\n
She was dramatically emoting or gesturing the bull, whom was standing at that point. She had been mimicking gestures- arms bowed and moving\/bobbing back and forth to simulate something\/one big\/fat and then dipping her knees to mimic him when he laid down.<\/p>\n
It approached her and I thought at that point she was going to get rammed. But instead, he laid down. She then began to try to pose next to it for the photos\/video her male friend was taking, then tried to touch and pet him several times.<\/p>\n
I was more involved with scanning the scene for others who may be able to stop her that were over there (we were far) or a ranger, also frozen from shock but wanting to get out of the truck. Finally I decided to hit record but still more worried about what I was witnessing to get a good video.<\/p>\n
After a few attempts to pet -yes she does make contact- she walks away to her friend. They then walk away toward the visitor center and we drive to the other side of the lodge where we see a ranger walking toward and engaging them. After a short conversation, they walk away from the ranger.<\/p>\n
And we share our shock and awe with another viewer that approach the truck to share his disbelief and anger.”<\/p>\n
