Woman gored by Bison at Yellowstone - Lemmy.world

Officials have been warning visitors not to get close to the animals.

Swear this happens every year. Someone either gets gored by a bison or tries to go swimming in a geothermal pool and gets boiled alive and dissolved.
I heard a park ranger say once “There is an overlap between the smartest animals and the dumbest people.”
Tom Scott was discussing this in his latest video on Bear Proof garbage containers. they’re designed to keep bears out, but some clueless people can’t open them either.
Well considering I don't live in bear country I'm sure I'd struggle the first time encountering one of those cans.
They’re literally just dumpsters with a little airlock chamber on top so that trash stink can’t escape and attract animals. If you’ve mailed a package at the post office and had to use one of those weird chutes, you can figure out a bear can.
Weird chute, like the vacuum tubes you see at banks and retail stores? If so that's kind of cool, y'know, for trash that is.
