Buffalo Aggressively Defends Her Calf is how I would say it...

I'm pro-animal with ALL these encounters....

I was just there last month and had a couple of them nudge my SUV. I couldn’t imagine driving that same road on a motorcycle. Then I read that she tried to get close to a calf. She’s absolutely lucky she didn’t get killed. I’m pro-buffalo here.

*sniff* First of all, it's Bison.
And yes, I'm pro-Bison on this. City folk are so stupid, ignorant, uninformed.

I disagree. It is made abundantly clear how dangerous it is. Some people just choose to ignore the warnings because they are too cool for school. Well, they don't always attack, but when they do, you don't have much of a chance.

Woman is lucky to be alive. Hopefully laying on the ground, de-pantsed, unconscious knocked some sense into her.

I've spent a lot of time in Sierra Nevadas and had my first truly close bear encounter I couldn't avoid a year ago. I can't imagine approaching big wild animals intentionally.

Even after the bear encounter probably more afraid of rattlesnakes, they appear near trail in the sun and can blend in or be hidden from view. Heading out for another 6 day backpacking trip in a month.

The guy that took his shirt off and covered her up was very very thoughtful and reacted quickly.
