Yellowstone’s new Bison Cam program is already paying off, with park officials confirming the first viral clip was captured just 47 minutes after activation.
The footage, taken from a forward-facing bison-mounted camera, shows a group of tourists slowly approaching for photos before immediately transitioning into what officials are calling a “high-speed educational retreat.”
“We’re seeing unprecedented engagement,” a park spokesperson said. “Viewers are especially enjoying the moment where confidence turns into cardio.”
The clip, now circulating online, has already been replayed millions of times, with premium subscribers unlocking alternate angles, slow-motion horn tracking, and a new feature labeled ‘Find Out Phase’.
Officials say additional bison are being equipped daily, with plans to introduce live commentary and a “Tourist Distance Meter” overlay later this season.
Visitors are once again reminded to stay at least 25 yards away from wildlife, though early data suggests many prefer to “learn the hard way, now in 4K.”
