While slowly following a herd of bison walking up the road , the occupants of this vehicle heard a snowplow approaching from around the corner. The bison heard it too, lifted their heads, and spun around immediately and began running. And that's when the bison realized vehicles were still behind them. This picture captures that moment. No bison or vehicles were injured or damaged. - Photo Yellowstone National Park
