The Bear Went Over the Mountain - or tried to


The cute little black bear, maybe 200 pounds, tried to go uphill and over the top but there's a rule out there that says never, never try to get inside a herd of around 30 bison lest a couple of them get really ticked and decide to teach your sorry derriere about the rules of animal etiquette. The closest buff almost ran the poor bear down, and in one of Lois's shots the buff actually head-butted the bear's butt. We thought for a moment we'd see bear carnage but happily, she got away. Who knew bison could run soooooo fast?
