Yellowstone Flashback: When a Thundering Bison Set a Speed Record
How fast can bison run? There was a time not that many years ago that a Yellowstone bison pushed the limits of what we think is possible from these mammoth beasts.
As I recall, this happened in the dead of winter in Yellowstone National Park a couple years ago. It was video captured from some British guys (I think) who were more than a bit concerned about the bison thundering down the snowy roadway. There was good reason for their almost panic.

Let s do some fun bison math. The National Park Service rightly says that a full-grown male bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. The National Bison Range claims a bison can run up to 35 mph. I personally think this big boy was easily clocking that speed.
