Wyoming's wildlife is pretty much the only reason for traffic jams in and around our beautiful state, but when they happen, how drivers react makes all the difference.
The average Wyomingite inherently knows to leave our wildlife alone, especially the larger, carnivorous animals like bears. Unfortunately, a lot of our countrymen don't share that level of common sense.
If I told you that a couple of guys decided it was a good idea to pet a bison, you would probably guess correctly what's gonna happen. It did. One man's offer of friendliness to a bison resulted in him getting the head butt of a lifetime.
It's not every day that I can write this phrase and be completely truthful. The Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile just photobombed a bison in Yellowstone National Park. Yes, this really did just happen.
If you're fortunate, you might hear wolves howl next time you visit Yellowstone National Park. But, you're not likely to hear them all the way in downtown West Yellowstone unless you were there a few mornings ago.
When you drive the highways and byways of western America, you never know what wildlife may be joining you on the road. A Montana driver recently shared video of 3 young mountain lions who were booking it down the road alongside him.
