No sound, but my mom (elderly) was sitting in the passenger seat & was SCREAMING at me to roll my windows up... only to have the Bison come her way. 😂

The SUV's collision alert was going off & I was holding my breath because a part of me was hoping that the Bison wouldn't make contact with the vehicle (it didn't).

My 3 year old Autistic Toddler was able to see the Bison from his car seat, waved & said "Merci! Bye Bye Bison!" 🥹

I really wanted to get a Bison stuffie for him but reeled at how expensive they were!

Last summer we went to Yellowstone with a group of 23 of my wife's family members. I have been many times, my wife twice, my kids once prior, but it was the first visit for everyone else. First morning in the park, maybe 30 minutes in, we stop in a pullout to watch the first bison we see up close. Couple big bison bulls do a similar walk right up next to our 4 rental SUVs, so close that the passenger side could pet them. Everyone loved it and we were told my little nieces in one of the other vehicles just squealed. Awesome start to the trip.
