Glad these big beautiful beasts are done messing around.
Quit trying to mess with them people!
That's because they keep getting triggered by people walking up to them to cop a feel saying, "Nice buffalo."
To which they get in response, "I'm a bison, nitwit. Get out of my space" punctuated by the body toss.

So is Buffalo Bill really Bison Bill? I've always pondered that question...
And, do you think anyone ever corrected him?

Love the last two stragglers ... and the patience of the drivers.
In NYC or Chicago there would have been pressed duck on the menu that night.

We had about 15-20 Canadian geese do that about a month ago. It was on a real busy four lane street. Some knucklehead in a pickup decided to get out of line and go around everyone trying to force the geese to move out of the way. The geese were not impressed.

Girl bitten by black bear at Vancouver zoo. Mother says she doesn't know how it happened, but the article states the girl went into a restricted area where there isn't much to keep you away from the cage.

Bears are getting restless in August. Family was camping on the banks of the river. The article doesn't say, but they must have been camping without a tent.

Hoping to fend off the extinction of mountain lions and other species that require room to roam, California is building a mostly privately funded wildlife crossing over U.S. Highway 101 in Agoura, Calif.

Disclaimer......didn't read the articles, but had heard about this cat on TV a couple of years ago.
So he found his way over the highway, but can't find his way back? Not being argumentative, but the reason the cat has not crossed back over is because he is finding food more plentiful where he's at. If he wasn't able to sustain himself, he would migrate someplace else. I applaud wanting to make sure the species is protected, but this is an example of how Californians overreact and waste money. How about they capture him and relocate to another area? Seems a lot cheaper than building a bridge.

Hero dog saves fisherman owner who was bitten by shark
This dog really is man’s best friend.
A California fisherman was saved by his pit bull named Darby after a 6-foot shark chomped on the man’s leg, prompting the fearless pooch to fight off the sea creature, according to a report.
James White, of Rohnert Park, was fishing from the shore at Bodega Bay in Sonoma County last month when he managed to catch a sevengill shark, NBC Bay Area reported.
White told the news outlet it took him about 10 minutes to reel the shark in.
“The only way I think I was able to get the line back is because it was swimming towards me,” he said.
When White went to remove the hook from the shark, it twisted and bit down on his ankle.
“Immediately there was blood everywhere. The first bite punctured an artery,” White told NBC. “The pressure was intense.”
An injured White desperately tried to free himself from the shark’s bite, to no avail.
That’s when Darby — who was sitting in White’s car up a hill nearby — suddenly sprang into action. The pooch managed to open the car door when he heard his owner yell for help.
The 1-year-old, 100-pound dog ran toward the shark, biting the big fish in its gills, which caused the shark to plunge its teeth even deeper into White, according to the news outlet.
“And I told him, ‘No, back off,’ and then [Darby] repositioned and grabbed it by the tail,” said White. “He literally ran up the hill with it and pulled it off my leg.”
White told NBC Bay Area that he then threw the shark back into the water and it swam away.
The fisherman acknowledged the outcome could’ve been far worse had his dog — nicknamed “House Hippo” — not been there.
“He’s been a part of the family from day one. Just now a little more,” White said. “If it wasn’t for him, I would have been a lot worse.”

We got a kitten back in December and he is nuts. Nocturnal psychopath...sleeps all day, and goes a million miles an hour at night.
This morning around 2am, the little shit pounced on my face while in a dead sleep...lol. Scared the crap out of me and my GF but we had a good laugh about it this morning.

I can relate. I call our cat Mr. Asshole. He does stuff like that all the time. Likes to lay in wait and ambush your leg when you walk by.

Man fights off grizzly bear by stabbing it in neck with pocket knife as it savaged him
A man savaged by a grizzly bear while mountain biking fought off the animal by stabbing it with a 2in pocket knife – and then cycled four miles to get help.
Colin Dowler was out in the backwoods of British Columbia exploring possible hiking routes when he turned a corner and encountered the huge grizzly at a distance of about 30m, the BBC reported.
He had hoped the bear would avoid confrontation and pass him by, or retreat into trees near the logging trail on Mount Doogie Dowler, named for his grandfather.
But the animal approached him with “methodical, heavy swats” of its paws, Mr Dowler told the broadcaster. He tried talking it down, he said, telling it: “I know this is your territory, I’m just passing through, we don’t have to do this.”
When the grizzly did not retreat, the 45-year-old tried throwing his bike at it, to no avail. Then it lunged, sinking its teeth into his stomach.
Mr Dowler told Canadian broadcaster CBC: “It grabbed me by the stomach and kind of pushed me down and dragged me toward the ditch maybe 50 feet. I tried eye-gouging it away and it didn’t really work.”
The bear also bit into his limbs during the 29 July attack, the reports said. He added: “It sounded like it was grating my bones up.
“Somehow, I don’t know how I did it. I used both hands to pull underneath the bear to get to that knife, and I grabbed the knife ... and stabbed the bear in his neck. “It let go of me immediately. It was bleeding quite badly, I wasn’t really sure if it was dying faster than I was.”
Once free of the bear’s jaws Mr Dowler reportedly made a tourniquet from his shirt and rode some 4.3 miles before finding help, in the form of five logging camp workers who gave first aid and called for an air ambulance.
Mr Dowler, a father of two, is now recovering at Vancouver General Hospital.
The bear was reportedly tracked down and killed by wildlife officers.

They are a huge problem in the Everglades, which is near where that one was caught. They have regular hunts down there where they just let people go try and catch as many as they can, but that only puts a small dent in the population.

Man gored in the testicles during Spanish town’s historic bull run
This man has a real cock-and-bull story to tell.
The 26-year-old thrill-seeker got a bit more than he bargained for at a running of the bulls event in Spain when he was gored in the testicles, video posted by Unilad shows.
Provoked by another man, the bull is seen charging at the victim, who tries to jump over a fence but gets his leg tangled and is left with his nether regions exposed.
As he tries to free himself, the beast charges and strikes him several times in his privates as several people try to distract the animal during the event in the town of Cuellar, about 75 miles north of Madrid.
Mayor Carlos Fraile said the man was hospitalized in stable condition.
The bull run in Cuellar is believed to be the oldest in the country, with the town having hosted events for over 800 years.
Bullfights are protected under the Spanish constitution as part of the country’s cultural heritage, but the practice has faced increasing calls for it to end.
