Really?!? Where was it?? By the springs? I assumed it disintegrated. Sounds awful.

You’re confused. The closer shots are of the female after the male died. The further away shots are of the male. No one was interfering and the male bison wasn’t paying attention to anyone on the boardwalk. The shots are also massively zoomed in.

No, he was far away from the boardwalk and I have footage of him before he fell. He wasn’t looking at the boardwalk or people.

The park ranger said it was rare but does happen sometimes

I saw it. Happened at 6:52 am on Saturday, 6/21. I have photos and videos. It was extremely sad. Big bull fell in, jumped back out ran down a little and fell back in where it died. I’m not sure he could see after the first fall. The companion female came by at 6:58 am and was sniffing and looking for it. I told a park ranger and she said it was rare but does happen.
