Bison ‘Running For Lives’ Sense Doomsday?
Feds, geologists sound off on Yellowstone eruption fears
WND
A brief YouTube video of bison purportedly “running for their lives” through Yellowstone National Park had federal officials scrambling this week to quell the “doomsday” fears of thousands spooked by the unexplained behavior of the thundering herd.
As WND reported, the video raised eyebrows and talk of an impending eruption of the park’s super-volcano after a magnitude 4.8 temblor struck in the northwest section of Yellowstone late Sunday.
Yellowstone officials and government geologists assured guests and the public that no such threat exists.
“It was a spring-like day, and they were frisky. Contrary to online reports, it’s a natural occurrence and not the end of the world,” park spokeswoman Amy Bartlett said.
The man who claims to have shot the original video and posted it to his Facebook page says it actually shows bison galloping down a paved road that leads deeper into the park.
