A huge bison has been caught on camera crossing a boardwalk at Yellowstone National Park and breaking right through the wood. As hiking season picks up, it's a timely reminder to give these powerful animals plenty of space, and appreciate them from a safe distance.
Yellowstone's boardwalks are solidly built, and handle millions of visitors a day, but male bison (bulls) can weigh up to 2,000lb, while females can be up to 1,000lb, and it seems this animal was just too big for the boards to bear.
