A parody post by Casper Planet about a man dressed as a buffalo in Yellowstone National Park chasing tourists has gone viral, with many posts thinking it was real, with Outside Magazine doing a fact check. That doesn’t stop of us from doing jokes.
- The tourists thought it was a bison charge. The park ranger thought it was a very unusual violation of costume rules.
- Yellowstone’s newest attraction: the human bison—rare, unpredictable, and definitely not safe to approach.
- He blended in perfectly with the herd—until the herd started wondering why one of them was wearing sneakers.
- The costume said “wildlife.” The behavior said, “Please escort this guy out of the park.”
- He chased visitors so convincingly, even the real bison were like, “We don’t do that.”
- The park’s wildlife warning now includes a new line: “If it’s wearing a costume, keep your distance and tell a ranger.”
