The
bison is the largest land mammal in North America. Bulls are more massive in
appearance than cows, and more bearded. For their size, bison are agile and
quick, capable of speeds in excess of 30 mph. Each year, bison injure park
visitors who approach too closely.

Do not approach wildlife, no matter how tame or calm they
appear. Always obey instructions from park staff on scene. You must stay at
least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves and at least 25 yards (23 m)
away from all other large animals - bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and
coyotes. Do not feed any animals. It harms them and it is illegal.
Bison can sprint three times faster than humans can run.
They are unpredictable and dangerous.
Your best view may be from inside a hard-sided vehicle.
Every year visitors are gored and some have been killed.
