"Awesome bison jam today. This little one caused quite the traffic backup in both directions," Kinzy said. "Mom and the other guardian bison said, ‘You shall not pass!’"
As cute and fuzzy as they are, Yellowstone National Park has asked visitors to give wildlife room to roam this spring. Visitors should always maintain a distance of at least 25 yards from the bison.
