Bison Stampede on Yellowstone Bridge w/ extra Bison footage

- We saw a bald eagle on the North side of the bridge and around 10 bison in view on the other side not knowing 10 would turn into a hundred. The bridge shaking and a hundred bison running towards you was exhilarating.
This video is a repost due to copyright claims from the music on the radio.
Maybe they were celebrating their bison-tenial. 😆

My daughter and I were in Teddy Roosevelt National Park, pulled over to watch a group of wild horses. Then, the earth started to shake and in front of us, 50-60 feet away, it was a buffalo stampede. It lasted maybe 30-45 seconds. To our 8 o’clock were those wild horses, those thundering buffaloes. What a day.
Amazing experience!
I love Teddy Roosevelt NP. What a wonderful place to visit
@@GermanShepherd1983 yep. Not easy to get to, but a pocket of wonderful.
@@mxplk yep. 15 years later and we still talk about it.
There are no wild horses in the US.
It seems to me that they are way more organized than most people at any event.
mommy joe
Why the passive anger and anti people stance, princess? Just enjoy the remarkable footage without all that crap. It's tedious.
@ daddy joe. Ha ha good point! I hadn't thought of it til I saw your post. But you're right.
100!! 🤣
… and civil! (Unless of course you get in their way!)
LoL well said
One time I was up in Yellowstone traffic had stopped and backed up due to a stampede crossing the road..prior to us knowing what was going on it sounded like a thunderstorm/earthquake it was crazy how loud it was but so cool
That's awesome. Yellowstone is awesome.
It is good to see the whyt people were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source.
Can you imagine back in the day when there were so many that the stampede would last for days?
Anthropologists estimate it was one herd that traveled north to the limit of that range, and then turned back to go south to the limit of that range. It was eating and spreading their own manure over the fields
that made them regrow so they could keep traveling and eating.
The Cavalry stopped for the night along the Smoky Hill River in western Kansas. The following morning the river stopped flowing. They rode upstream to find a huge herd of Buffalo that drank the river dry.
@@johnwattdotca thanks for explanation. I thought it was a strange statement.
@@ecalose6785 Here's another strange statement. Did you know when white men first traveled across the plains they saw dinosaur skeletons sitting on the surface? The first one taken in as a strange object was a triceratops skull. Two groups of museum collectors raced around the prairie to find them, and they became the first dinosaur skeletons to be exhibited in museums around the world.
@@johnwattdotca Good ol rapis-- er I mean white men.
Those little baby Bison are so cute the way they prance around.
I bet if you roast them just right and dip them in BBQ sauce they taste really good. And scarf that down with a beer after.
@@leequinn2733 not nice but😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
@@leequinn2733 same with dogs...look cute taste even better....🤣🤣
@@leequinn2733 That's exactly what the whole herd said about you.
@@POLITICALHYBRID I have been told I taste mighty good, some parts better than others.
What a beautiful sight...how majestic they are in that settings...brings back thoughts of the native Americans and "wild west". Thank you for sharing.
Ikr how awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
Well you might want to look up what happened to all the buffalo that left Yellowstone! Slaughtered!
@clot shots nope still killing them!
It is good to see the white were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source.
@@JackOllie4 No taxes I bet or worried about if the mortgage and bills get paid. I bet Kings couldn’t have people living that way, just wasn’t fair to live free.
This was such a beautiful, amazing scene and the people who experienced it are so lucky. The size of some of those bulls!
The scene at the end made me happy. Seeing the bison on the Plains where they belong, back in their place in the ecosystem is wonderful.
It is good to see the whyt were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source.
North America wildlife! I will have those memories forever...🐃
What an incredible sight, thank you for posting!!!!
Loved seeing the babies running beside they mamas. 😢beautiful
These herds used to number in the millions ...
wow 🙄🙄🙄 beautiful & scary sight 😳 😳😳😳
Thank those blood thirsty hunters from whom these bisons are running.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ you have got to be kidding, go to church.
O-M-G! 😳 That’s amazing yet terrifying.
The only terrifying animal is human
@@jingye88 🙄yeah okay 👌🏼
Yes it is first until you realize they will not charge you. I have had that experience at Yellowstone.
They've come a long way since practical extinction, that was fantastic! 😊
@maverick sorry to disappoint you, but we are still here...you just ignore us...
@maverick There is no natives, we are all migrants
@maverick no they haven't they're still here
@@Dante-vf4sd that's where you wrong.
@@28ghz How so?
Look at all the babies. Wow! It’s interesting how they assess the vehicle and go around
@@Spearca NO WAY! I'd be doing the same thing getting outta there way as fast as I could if at all possible. Especially in a rental car.
@@billybob-ro6qf Yes-I agree with the rental issue. lol
@@Spearca Not positive but I think they were backing up (slowly) to allow a little more space for the bison to get to that hill on the side. 🦬🦬🦬
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Pay backs here tho woot woot enjoy the Sun
Wow! What an incredible experience!
Just take one day at a time and trust God.
czcams.com/video/kzY1DnzqHeE/video.html
great to see all the calves and yearlings in that herd
Right!! It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source.
It's magical to see this. So precious. Thanks for sharing
This is beautiful ❤️
It looks like James "Scotty" Philips wish came true.
I did an essay on him in college.
He has a large role in helping prevent the extinction of North American Bison. After the attempted genocide by the U.S army, Scotty bought a heard of around 70 and built a special pasture for them on his ranch.
By the time he passed, his heard had grown to over 1000.
A few people bought from him to grow their own heards in the attempt to save the North American Bison population.
South Dakota was one of the buyers. The state bought a few dozen from Scotty and released them in a national park.
South Dakota today now has over 1,300 wild bison. Yellow Stone has around 5k.
As of now, a total of 20k roam freely in the U.S. (both government and tribal land)
But in total (privately & publicly owned) the U.S has over half a million North American Bison
South Dakota is currently home to most of the population.
This breed of bison only naturally exists here in North America.
It's not even close to the over 30 million the U.S use to have before the Genocide, but it's a start.
In the early 2000s we only had around 300k. So a huge jump in the past 20ish years, efforts are clearly working. Hopefully we can grow the wild population even more
Great info. Thanks! And thanks go also to Scotty Phillips and all the others who helped in their comeback.
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. But don't attribute that to another lone whyt man they would love to take that credit. It belongs to mother Nature alone.
@@MiaEZ You're right. Of course. Thanks for pointing that out.
Herd
Too many people think Bison are like domesticated cows, THEY ARE NOT!
You got that right. As of the last I knew it's bison 3, tourists o. In Yellowstone park. It don't matter if there are signs, people still don't pay attention. I wonder what the total amount of attacks will be by the end of tourist season.
I love watching the middle & rear of the pack stop to decide which way to go.
How Fascinating!!
It certainly seemed like the shiest were at the rear.
It is beyond me, but I can sit and watch animals do just about anything. This is just beautiful.
Wow ! "The grass is always greener on the other side ." Apparently! What a sight! Glad you are ok and no damage to your car ! Great footage !
Don't worry about your cars anymore. It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Your car is the very least coming for y'all.
How cool!! I love people who are still awed by nature.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience.
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source.
Lol we were there in 2020 and 21,there were bison on the bridge and a black bear along the road,right there. The bridge was shaking like there was tanks driving across it. Most amazing three weeks of my life
Never seen this before happen. Great shots.
Hope you guys enjoy the video! Like and subscribe.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Seeing all those Bison. Incredible there so majestic. I cant imagine being in those cars. You could probably feel the earth move. For sure
We went to Yellowstone last year and saw the baby bison's playing around with each other. They were adorable 😍
*baby bison, or bisons
Do you notice how Peaceful, and Respectful they were? Not one of them showed any aggression toward the car...
Peaceful. I'm glad you guys were there : )
i'm sure that they have enough self-preservation to not hit massive objects that looked unmovable. imagine if they hit a tree or a boulder. that's a goner for sure.
@@RoseNZieg do you know that they have been known to take on a vehicle. Check out videos from Yellowstone park.
@@RoseNZieg I agree with you about instincts, but I agree with the other poster about damage. If a deer can total a car (and they can), then a bison or moose can do much worse, as they weigh significantly more
@@RoseNZieg I agree with you about instincts, but I agree with the other poster about damage. If a deer can total a car (and they can), then a bison or moose can do much worse, as they weigh significantly more
@@RoseNZieg with all the OTHER buffalo right behind them, kinda hard to stop on a dime! (or nickel) the COULD have gone right OVER the car. Or at least through the window!
What frightens me most about this video, is the desolat condition of that bridge. It looks like its about to collapse any second.
This was soo amazingly beautiful.. wow, i live in The Bahamas and this is a dream for me
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Pay back is such a bitch tho woot woot
Living in The Bahamas would be a dream for me…. 😩
i'll be there in a month or so, really lookin forward to it.
I'll also be there in Aug. Can't wait!
Wow. I was tent camping in Yellowstone with my 5 year old daughter and had a nature call in the middle of the night and when I returned to the tent there was a huge bull bison feeding next to the tent and my sleeping daughter. Scared the Dickenson out of me but everything turned out okay
@@DL-ep5uk Yes. It was there for about 10 minutes and then left. Whew!
😳 Oh... my
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Pay backs a bitch n it's here. 😄🙌🏽
My friends and I were camping at a state park in Oklahoma, no tents, just sleeping bags in the clefts of the rocks. When I woke up, there was a bison directly over me... I whispered to friends to look over... There was just a single, young bison there.... So I waited until he decided to walk off before I got up. We looked out over the tops of the rocks to see the rest of the herd on the plains... Incredible memory. Also, saw wild horses roaming on the reservations. So awesome!
@@MiaEZ , not all whytes mistreated native indigenous people, but certainly many from England did.
Bison: when humans do it, it’s rush hour or heavy traffic, but when we do it’s called a stampede?
Stampede is MUCH faster and louder. This is just normal travel.
I love when this happens, it's like they're all late for work, rush hour traffic 😂
I love how they stayed together, avoided the cars, checked on each other and made sure the babies were ok. Boss bison in front.
had the same experience on the same bridge 2 years ago. awesome footage!
Cool
Yellowstone is the most AMAZING place!! 🦬🦬🦬
that it is, going back there NEXT MONTH can't wait
It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Pay back is here tho enjoy the Sun🌞🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw this herd many years ago in 82 and it was MUCH smaller ! Good to see them thriving in spite of the Tourons!
Wow! As an Black Native American (Blackfoot & Choctaw) I love moments like this!👍🏽😁🦅🪶
LOL that is NOT a stampede, but it is really awesome.
Yeah it's a simple trek. haha. the heard is moving, for reasons we humans might not understand.
I get excited to see some deer in my backyard. I would have loved to be a that bridge. Awesome video!!!
Wish granted.... As I'm watching the beginning of the video I thought how I'd love to see it from the angle of the truck backing up and voila there it was just like that 🌟 What an amazing video!!
I wonder why the title says, "stampede" when the bison where ambling along. Bison are capable of tremendous speed when either angry or frightened, which is rare.
Exactly, this was a click bait.
They are cantering on a tarred road so can't run as fast as they could on the Plains. Parts of it look a bit slippery which slowed the calves down.
If YOU were in that car and on the phone you would not be yelling "buffalo (or bison) are ambling towards me"!!
@@carmenmartinez2882 I bet it FELT like a stampede! I don't think they intended it as click bait!
I had a similar experience in Yellowstone and boy let me tell you it was intimidating and definitely felt like a stampede!!
Can you imagine if 30 to 60 million who they claim once roamed the great plains were still roaming? Current statistics say there are 30,000 roaming.
Just thought of that! Imagine one herd would've been miles long 200 years ago. That stampede was just a tiny trickle.
I like the end...all happy in the field, some grazing, some rolling in the dust. 💗🐂💗🐂💗🐂💗
Once in a lifetime experience. So neat.
They are such magnificent beasts.
Interesting when that single one stopped the rest did too
Thank you for sharing that was a lot of fun thoroughly enjoyed it
A once in a lifetime experience! It's amazing to think that within my lifetime they've gone from being numbered in the 10's to herds like this! Such majestic and crucial animals. 💜🌎✌️😎🍀🦋
That is amazing! Spectacular to view!❤️
Excellent video of a bison stampede. I would have liked being there amongst the bison. Bison are such magnificent looking creatures!
Amongst aye?
Except, this isn't a stampede just moving normally to another location. Still cool, but not a stampede.
@@juliehare3403 l just went with what the headline said.
Go on a bull run in Mexico let me know how you liked it.
@@richardkronberg4925 l will have nothing to do with a bull run anywhere. Just lead's to having the bull's entering an arena for bull fighting. The bull's get gored until they die. I do not like your way of thinking.
What did the mama buffalo say when her little boy went off to college? Bi son . Ahahhaahahah
Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful!
They live there!!
Bison moving about in their own home. Beautiful animals 🦬 💕
That’s awesome! Best video I’ve seen of Yellowstone
It's so interesting to see the decisions being made by the bison to either go left or right.
The bison in the park are very used to vehicles. You didn't have to back up they would have went around you. Cool video though. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for doing your best to respect these animals💯❤
There's actually a place called, 'Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump' in Alberta Canada.
Traditionally used by First Peoples on horseback 'cutting out' a section of the herd, and then stampede them over the cliff where none survived the 'jump'.
A vital resource was harvested and sustained the people in numerous ways whereby every bone sliver was reverently put to use.
Don't fuhkin speak on us Indigenous. It is good to see the whyts were not able to kill every bison off when they tried to cut off the Indigenous natural food source. Pay back is here and it's glorious. Enjoy the Sun🌞🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whoa, how many tons were on the bridge? Any dents on the vehicle? Thanks for sharing!
Id say at most 50 tons. Definitely scary with an old bridge bouncing up and down. No dents just a dirt scrape from one of the last bison.
Looked pretty scary, especially since the cars behind didn't allow you to back up any further.
Not a stampede. Just a mob travelling quickly. In a real stampede the individuals would not have altered speed to dodge vehicles.
@@NickM92 When the video started I was thinking how cool, or nerve wracking, it would be to be in that white truck at the bottom. Thanks for rewarding my curiosity!
@@NickM92 any dents in your CAR SEAT?
Thank you for posting this, I didn't get to see the Buffalo play in Yellowstone, booked my stay the week of the BIG FLOOD. This is so healing for my heart to see. Thanks again. Blessings
It is their park. We had one charge us during mating. Wild animals in parks need to be respected. You did that. Thank you.
This is Fabulous!🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬
Lucky cars. A good side herd of these in full stampede (this was just a simple migration lol) could derail freight trains.
I'm not even sure I have the words for this. Just amazing.
I love seeing so many little ones! This is so neat💖
Excellent video thanks for sharing.
Glad the little ones didn’t go down the steep hill. Smart moms. ❤️
That's the slowest Stampede I've ever seen
That car backing up with that view is the stuff from nightmares 😬😬
Being a native of “Buffalo NY”, this is fascinating!
I can’t see a Buffalo without the old heartstrings pulling me back to the old hometown.
Go Bills! Go Bisons! Go Bulls!
Oh yeah, also Go Sabres!
As someone from Colorado, that always confused me lol. I don't think there is, or were any American Bison in Western New York. At any time ever. they have always lived on the great plains
Also If my Broncos Don't make it, I'd have no problem with the Bills going to the superbowl, love Bills Mafia, much respect.
@@kylem1112 Thank you for the “Mafia Love”! I lived in Denver from 92-94, I literally had tears running down my face when I moved back to the Buff.. I love buffalo but Denver was brilliant! My 4 teenage children were in Buffalo, and they needed me back… as I needed them…. How bout those “Avs”!?
Awesome video. 👍
I visited Yellowstone a few years ago. I looked forward to seeing those big bison. I did see a few, from distance. Your video is spectacular. I am so glad those gentle giants didn't cause any vehicle damages.
Well that is surely some sight to see!
A bit of an oh dear that close and on the move, jeepers those bulls.
(They look even bigger right next to you.)
Thank you for sharing.
Great video! Did this bridge survive the flooding?
Bison are the coolest animal in the park, in my humble opinion.
I'm sure it did. This bridge is way above the water level.
@@serenitysmith352 NO!! IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HURT THE PEOPLE!!
These are not cows! You are the type to come to our park and get gored!
@@serenitysmith352 This are cows! We here in Germany have the saying "stupid cow", and this doesnt come from nothing....
Apart from that it is not very stupid - the cows dont know how to make of this wandering rock = the car and wont to be hurt by that - thats all...
Greetings from Bavaria in Germany, where there are no Bisosns but a lot of cows grasing near the alps....
@@wahrheitsliebender they are NOT cows!!
@@serenitysmith352 I say OUR park because I have lived in Montana all 60 years of my life.
Yes. Your better off staying in your car. Only a stupid person would get out of the car.
Buffalo are not lions, tigers or bears. They are not elephants either. I cannot tell you why IN THIS VIDEO the bison didn't charge any vehicles. But I can tell you that they sometimes DO. They are WILD ANIMALS!! You had better stay where you are OUR other park, Glacier, is even more dangerous for unintelligent people like yourself.
Beautiful animals. Hope they continue to have a future.
WHAT?
@@stevemattson4988 WHERE?
I love seeing Buffalo's being able to run free as they were born to do so. I have several friends who have raised them to go back out on the plains where they belong. Thanks for sharing something so amazing
Beautiful sight! I cannot imagine the days of wagon trains parking in a circle for protection from so many things upon them esp. in the night! These bison are magnificent in there insights and size.Reminds me of elephant herds that all hang together on there journeys.
WOW 😯 Absolutely beautiful, gorgeous animals 🖤🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🖤
imagine the scene before the white man nearly wiped out the buffalo. the entire landscape was filled with them...
Great footage, many great memories of my last trip there
Wow stunning footage!
Modern Man and his Technology forced to stop for some time by some of the most Primitive of Species's.
I Just Love It!!
God doesn't make any junk. Nothing primitive about any of God's Creation.
That’s not a stampede. They’re taking a stroll.
:-)
Wow... To think there used to be millions of them. Its sad to know why there isn't that many and that little stampede is not even comparable of what it used to be.
Awesome video. I never thought I would see that.
Wow, the little steering decision of the driver determined the direction of the herd. The ones who went downhill are having completely different lives because the terrain differences had to land them in very different places.
So the people behind the car backing down the bridge weren't smart enough to back away so he could get completely away. I see the same problem in gas stations people can not back their cars. These are the same people on a commercial airline that catches fire on the ground will stop to get their bags out of the over head.
But aren't the bison magnificent?
If you would have stayed where you were they wouldn't have had to go between your car and the guardrail on the sidewalk. You've probably never been through Yellowstone before. 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Other than that great footage.
with these close-up views you can certainly tell the difference between the bulls and the cows!
Thanks for the great video.
That had to be scary but what a wonderful sight to see all those animals. And we humans just go about destroying their lands. All the wild animals are being taking out of their habitat because of progress in building.
The Bison were friendlier to you then the idiots parked behind you!
rita dirtty sanchez
Please...stop being so angry.
Beautiful so glad to see him coming back
Incredible, I have never witnessed bison crossing a bridge like this. Most impressive. Thanks
Cool 😎
Malarkey. Close the park. Let nature be.
😙wow what a pure pleasure! thank you so much for uploading!!
From what I can see from the video there is a lot of people that could take a lesson from this beautiful animals. There is a great deal of bison cutting each other off as they pass the car and I don’t see one bit of road rage. If wild animals can do it........why can’t people? Great video, thanks a bunch.
R u one of those that cut peeps off on the road?
A lesson? They're so dumb, they didn't know which way to go. But they look like good eating.
Why did you honk at the two last buffalo. You almost made them return and get separated from the herd.
