    Gotta respect animals in their habitat. Bison are wild animals, not cows and I don't have much sympathy here.

    I was in Jasper Alberta and a Japanese tour group were crowded around a full grown Elk bull, full rack of antlers. snorting his indignation at them. I take out my 200mm and stay as far back as I can to get a picture. Meanwhile they are circling the thing, getting closer and closer.

    I yell at them "Get back away from him!" Their guide (he was wearing a badge) walks up to me and says "he can't run very fast - it's OK". I said back to him "This isn't Bambi. Can your group run at about 40mph? That's what he can do at his best." His eyes went , said something in Japanese to the group and they all backed off.

    You heard my story when I worked in Banff? An elk wondered into our resort area and I walked up to it holding two sticks above my head like antlers, thinking it would run off scared.

    People are laughing at my elk imitation as I get closer...and it just looks down at me as if to say - You think you're funny?

    I swear its shoulders were about 6 feet high and up close they are imposing animals.

    Not that I'm trying to start a pissing contest, but our Tassie Devils can sprint for short bursts at 50mph, and leap directly onto testicles #truth

    We all know that you would win that one. The number of things you have that could kill you is 84726516385.

    Thanks, but even though the devil may be mean and bitey, at least I have a chance to punt him. I'll take my chances with him over a 2,000 lb bison charging me at 40 mph.

    I'm sure there's an Australian house plant that turns organs to mush and cause amputations after...viewing it.
