The accident occurred on June 1, but the image and video of tragic events were only shared -recently on social media platforms. Some people saw the last moment of Bison, and Facebook users shared a photo on a Facebook group called Yellowstone through the lens. The post reads:
Unfortunately, I saw the bison drowning in the springs of the big prism earlier this morning. It took a few steps to the shallow area to the right of the pool, it turned and stepped out quickly. It stands for a moment, then turns towards the spring and steps into a deeper side and can’t come out despite trying his best. I had a video that came to take a deep breath but it was a difficult watch.
Other visitors watch the same event and share their photos and videos online. Unfortunately, the bison falls into the spring of large prism, which has an average temperature of 160 ° F (70 ° C). Bison reported severe burns that eventually led to his death. However, why does the animal actually fall into the hot springs? Could his death have been prevented?

The post immediately went viral on Facebook and quickly collected hundreds of comments and nearly 20,000 reactions. Someone also shares videos on YouTube where users are wondering if visitors should be blamed. Some suggest that one of the logical reasons for the bison falling into the hot springs is to escape from the visitors when they are shocked. Unfortunately, Humans approach the bison more often than people think, as a new man -this newly injured while doing it. However, this does not seem to happen.
Some users are also angry with the person for the filming of slow animals, claiming they should call a ranger and ask for help. However, the proposal also seems illogical because the rangers can’t do much to help the animal. Unfortunately, while these accidents are rare, sometimes they naturally occur in the park. In an interview with The Sacramento Bee, Mike Poland, a Yellowstone volcanic observatory scientist, said:
“There is a single report from wildlife observers who die in hot springs, (…) it has never happened at all.”
So, does Yellowstone National Park management do something to protect these animals from certain deaths? Many online people say the image is ‘hunting’ and says how regret they feel poor animals who die like a terrible death. However, it is important to remember that nature has no human ethics and morals.

Julie Ligtenberg – Maybe the person who thinks it’s okay to walk there should watch this. |

Alisha Dawn Nichols – which is very horrible. I would be very sad to see that happening. |
Rangers should interfere with as little as possible in the lives of many animals in the US National Park, though this means that death is certain except that humans are responsible for it. In this case, Facebook user Ron Bowman wrote:
I have seen the bones located at the bottom of the hot springs. Nature in its raw state, not touched, as much as possible by the human hands, what makes Yellowstone so valuable.
While it may be challenging to see the death of such animals, it is important to remember that human intervention in the National Park should always be kept at a minimum when it comes to wildlife. Therefore, while it is important to remind visitors of the dangers of hot springs, it is very important to let nature take its way, no matter how difficult it is for humans to witness.
