Wild West
This wild frontier has been forged by the elements and built by monumental forces. Over millennia America's most iconic landscapes have been carved out; wind sculpted deserts, like Death Valley and the Grand Canyon; giant redwood forests fed by precious waters; and extreme coastlines - from the wave sculpted shores of the pacific to the warm sheltered sea of cortex. Nowhere in America is more extreme, more varied and more spectacular than the Wild West.

Watching this after a yak fan boy thinking a yak can kill a bison lol what a moron.
These creatures are so massive. I mean look at the dust falling of them while they fight looks pretty damn badass.
fuckoff well ok then...
they can topple trees with a charge they are really strong they are stronger than rhinos but lack the ability to change directions when ramming they go in straight lines
BlueDiamond stuff that happens if you give every inbred a gun
Corsades there strong enough to shake the ground and the pound
Corsades Fights between Male American bison are mostly pushing contests. Try to get the other one off his feet, push him around. Their horns are too short to lock. Goring is rare. As long as the loser retreats, that’s the end of it.

Lmao
Bet you wont say it to his FACE
I once had the pleasure of seeing bison just before a rut live on a preserve. They are simply enormous creatures, video doesn't do them justice. I remember seeing a lone bison lying in the forest, away from the herd, and our tour guide explained that that's how very old males spend their time during the rut. They can't fight anymore, so they rest.
I thought you said "I had the pleasure of seeding bison" and I was super concerned for a second
@@railgunawesome7114 LMAO
Kinda like humans
The senior bison are like “I’m to old for this shit, so I’m just gonna sleep, wake me when the rut is over”

Regular Bison: Minding his own business Dominant Bison: Fighting That One Bison: Rolling in the dirt
I heard dirt made them seem bigger or something
Nicole Turner It’s actually to keep them clean I believe as in their range the “Great Plains” région there’s not a lot of water for them to swim in so they roll around in the dirt.
WOLFO yeah but I’m saying that rolling in dirt and their own pee made them like a more suitable Mate or something (don’t know about bisons as much lol)
Nicole Turner Neither do I, but at the Nature Center there’s a herd of bisons which like to roam around in the large ocean “Prairie” and at the park there’s a large pond with a lot of turtles, and I’ve read about the bisons and the prairie and all that stuff online so I know a little about them, I decided to learn more about turtles because I like them this is why my pfp is a painted turtle but bisons are still awesome animals!

"The rut takes a heavy toll on the big bull." Dames weaken the legs, Rock!
Worked on a bison ranch in Wyoming for eight years 2008 to 2016. We were out feeding the bison in winter and two of tge biggest bulls started going at it. We stopped the tractor and hay wagon and sat on the hay to watch. Just as shown in this video the bulls went at it...the horns clicked and tufts of hair went flying. The younger bison got excited and gathered around as though watching a prize fight. Eventually one bull broke off but they both looked beat walking away with their tongues hanging down to the ground. BISON are awesome animals .

YH LOL
😂 lions in yellowstone..
I saw it too but when it turned sideward i realised it’s not a lion
I saw a big fight between two bulls in Yellowstone a few years ago it was really intense. Probably even more than this as the one bull ran at about 30 mph for several thousand feet to catch up with the other one, he fought. we followed in the car and got a bird's eye view without getting too close. I would say we were about 100 yards away. We were there in August during the height of the rut. I have been there five times, so I got a chance to see a lot the park had to offer. I also got to see two bull elk fight on a different trip in late September although that was not nearly as intense.

A guy I know had two male buffalo brothers that he had raised from the time they were just calves, and they had always been fine around each other. However, when they had matured enough and were in their rut, they’re just big, muscular, violent and testosterone filled animals. They had always fed out of a sort of concrete bunker with a trough in it, and one day, during the mating season when they were most aggressive/competitive, while one was eating, the other went nuts and smashed into its side, slamming it into the concrete wall and killing the other animal.

The natural beauty of that valley is amazing.
I can say from personal experience it is breathtaking. Yellowstone is truly the "Holy Grail" of America outdoors.
That's why it's a national park
Would look better with a Walmart on it.
@@mouthpiece200 you take that back
@@mouthpiece200 McDonald's and a Costco too.
To me the bison should have been the national animal of the United States, they represent the land better than any other.
Yeah, they did get a nickel tho, which is pathetic considering the clowns on our quarters now.
No because the bald eagle was chosen as it flies high above all the others as an apex predator. Only way a bison kills a bald eagle is if the eagle lets it. The bison does not fly high above all the others. The bald eagle is definelty the national animal. The bison isnt far behind though. For different purposes
The slow motion really intensities the intensity of the duel.
The ground shakes a little when one of theses is close to you. There was a millionaire in my childhood neighborhood who had 3 of these beasts. I used to love plucking grass and feeding it to them. Favorite animal ever.
Wait he just had like 3 random bison in his back garden🤣
@@Arjun-sr4ne I thought he lived on a farm but he said neighbourhood. I'm so curious if it was actually just 3 giant beats in his back yard, that'd be unbelievable.

I might be wrong, but there's no way they can capture such clear sound, which leads me to believe all the sound was done by Foley artists. If that's the case, props to them. It sounds amazing.

Bisons are HUGE! I got to pet one some years back and these animals are massive.
WOOOO MAAOOOOOO **THUD** BOOOOOO *GRUNF* MOOOOOO
i felt that
Thanks for the transcription. I was wondering what they were saying.
We used to raise bison, man what magnificent creatures. I'll never forget, at the peak of our farm, we had I think 36 cows and 2 bulls that lived in a single pasture (we had 4 we moved them between). The bulls would always coexist peacefully in the pastures, never so much as even giving a bad glance at one another. BUT whenever we'd move them from one pasture to another, where they had to go through runways and corrals of sorts, one bull would make sure all the cows went first and he'd bring up the rear, while the other remained in the other pasture. The first bull would wait in the runway, sometimes for hours, for the other bull to show up, and when he did they'd just go at it. Sometimes the fights lasted a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes, one time a fight (the *last* fight) lasted for over 45 minutes where one bull finally killed the other by pinning him up against the fence and goring him. But once the fight was over, they'd both go through the runway and live in peace again. It was so interesting when they did that. It was almost as if one bull was saying, "We're moving on, over my dead body are you coming with us".
"where one bull finally killed the other by pinning him up against the fence and goring him. But once the fight was over, they'd both go through the runway and live in peace again. " Got killed but lived. wat?

There was a reason their herds were so massive. NOTHING could mess with a Bison let alone a team of them.
Facts! So badass
actually the reason the herds were so massive (range from alaska all the way to florida) is because indigenous people of multiple nations worked together to expand the range from plains into woodlands, aka wood bison. my nation traditionally would burn the prairie to bring bison migrations in since they could smell the new growth after controlled burns.
They’re pretty picky

Some male bison exert themselves so violently during their rut that they die from exhaustion. Absolutely _nuts._

I landed in the middle of a small herd in Alaska on a jump with the 82nd years ago. And to this day I've never seen anything more majestic or frightening.

Who needs mammoths when you've still got these thunder beasts roaming the plains? No wonder they're the official state animal of the U.S.A.
I remember this valley. It was a bit later, so the kalfs were already born and there were no fights. But it was still a beautifull place to see the bisons and gaffels running around and crossing the river. Amazing to see it back on youtube.
2:54 He is another bison, possibly some time with a broken leg. You notice the loss of muscle mass in its thigh. 1:00
Thought I'd see two Bisons getting on top of each other wild
I used to live in Western Canada where these things are pretty common. They are ENORMOUS up close
And then all the females watching decided to go with the younger bull because he was way cooler for taking on the bigger bull.
Either that, or they think he’s a jerk for trying to beat up an old man who’s had a long day (as well as weak for failing to beat up an old man who’s had a long day).
You'd like to imagine that you win some because of your courage but here winner takes it all
It's funny you think the females pick
He probably had a nicer weiner
Females don't decide in bull world
We're so interested in past life forms and fossils that we forget that there are these amazing creatures in this life. Imagine future humans or other life finding remnants of these beasts. Amazing
