We have several herds in my area, including a few large herds in Custer State Park. Heck, you can drive through a herd, sit in the middle of one and watch them scratch themselves on your car or lick salt off of it in the winter, or even get out and take pics as long as you use common sense and don't get too close or antagonize them. Even the most obtuse, never-seen-a-cow city slicker should still be able to recognize that a bison pawing the ground and shaking its head is trying to warn you to back off. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: at least half of all the people on Earth are blithering idiots with no more sense than a lobotomized sheep.
My friend lives in SD, and their plot of land is gigantic. She and her husband both hunt, well, mostly the husband, and we were planning on visiting (post COVID).

Hunting is very limited. I only know of one bison hunt in SD, and that's at Custer State Park where the woman got twirled. It's a non-trophy hunt that's just for culling the herd which has to be kept to a certain level due to land resources. They round up a lot of the animals in the fall and sell them in addition to the hunt. I "assume" you could hunt them on a private ranch, but I don't know that for sure. You'd have to check. I do know this, they're about the best tasting thing ever. Imagine the most perfect, juiciest, tender steak you've ever had. Now multiply that by 2 or 3. That's bison.
Watch this video. Despite the title, there's no attack of any kind. It's a typical experience of driving through a couple of herds in Custer State Park near my house. The people in the video are annoying, but this is exactly what a drive through the park is like. Don't bother the bison and they don't pay much more attention to you than if you were a rock.

They're wild, but used to humans being around. However, you don't want to approach them or antagonize them.

I watched the "Meat Eater" episode where he shot the bison and the others barely even moved. He said that's why they were so easy to over hunt. It's like they don't care.

‘Worst nightmare’: 4-feet snake pulled out from woman’s mouth in Russia
https://indianexpress.com/article/tr...slept-6578861/
A snake was pulled out from a woman’s mouth after the reptile crawled inside her while she was sleeping. A footage of the horrifying moment when the 4-feet snake was surgically removed from the Russian woman’s mouth has gone viral on social media.
The incident took place at Levashi village in Dagestan, Russia, when the woman was sleeping in the yard of her home, according to a DailyMail report. On feeling unwell, the woman went to the hospital and was put under general anesthesia after doctors realised there was something in her stomach. Later, the doctors removed the snake from the woman’s mouth, with fear writ large on the faces of the surrounding medical staff. However, it is not clear whether the snake was dead or alive on being retrieved.

A Lincolnshire wildlife park in Britain had to remove 5 recently acquired African Gray parrots due to their language. Apparently they were all exceptionally foul-mouthed and the more people reacted and laughed, the more the parrots did it. Most people found it entertaining and funny, but the park decided the birds were so bad that it wasn't appropriate for kids.Winners see success and want to climb up to its level.

Can you imagine what they were thinking? "This thing is eating 5lbs of food a day and tried to bite me."
French couple trying to buy Savannah cat get tiger cub, instead
Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A French couple who purchased what they thought was an exotic Savannah cat from an online ad ended up turning the feline over to authorities when it turned out to be a tiger cub.
Prosecutors in La Havre said the couple encountered an online ad in 2018 offering a baby Savannah cat, a cross between a domestic cat and an African serval, for sale.
The couple paid about $7,000 for the kitten, but after about a week in their care, the couple suspected the feline was not a Savannah cat, which is legal to keep as a pet in France, but a Sumatran tiger, an endangered species native to Indonesia.
The prosecutors said the incident sparked a two-year investigation that culminated this week with nine people being arrested. The couple who purchased the cat were among those arrested, but were later released by police.
Authorities said animal trafficking charges are being sought in the case.
The tiger cub now is in the care of the French Biodiversity Office.

Had never heard of these Killer Hornets until seeing something on the news over the weekend. They found the nest by putting a tracking collar on one of the hornets. lol
'Murder hornet': First nest found in US eradicated with vacuum hose
The first nest of Asian giant hornets found in the US has successfully been destroyed by scientists. The nest, in the state of Washington, was found by putting tracker devices on the hornets and it was sucked out of a tree using a vacuum hose.
The invasive species insects, known as "murder hornets", have a powerful sting and can spit venom. They target honeybees, which pollinate crops, and can destroy a colony in just a matter of hours.
The nest in Washington was found when entomologists, scientists that study insects, used dental floss to tie tracking devices to three hornets. The nest of around 200 insects was then discovered in the city of Blaine close to the Canadian border.
On Saturday, a crew of scientists wearing protective suits vacuumed the insects from the tree, which will now be cut down to remove any further nests.
Asian giant hornets are among the world's largest wasps - the queens can reach over 5cm (2in) long. Their venomous sting can penetrate humans' protective clothing but the number of people they kill each year is low - about 40 annually in Asia, according to the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C.
Normally their natural habitat is in areas of Asia from China to Japan, but in 2019 there were several sightings of single "murder hornets" in North America. A nest was destroyed in Vancouver Island in Canada in December last year.
Globally, conservationists are deeply concerned about falling insect populations. But it can be permissible to kill some insects if they are an invasive species - one that is not native to an area and preys on other insects there.
Honeybees are under threat due to loss of food after habitat destruction, pesticides, and disease.
When an Asian giant hornet enters a honeybee colony, it begins a "slaughter phase" in which it kills bee after bee and can destroy the colony in a few hours.

This is pretty cool. Thousands of sea turtles stunned by the cold blast in Texas were pulled from the Gulf to help them survive. Saw a clip on TV where the floor in a large room was completely covered with turtles.

Man, can someone in this story at least show a little concern for the human being that got shot as opposed to the dogs? We live in a strange world sometimes.
