18. Wyoming – Bison
Bison are Wyoming’s most iconic yet dangerous animals. These massive creatures can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and run at speeds of 35 mph. Despite their docile appearance, bison are unpredictable and can become aggressive if approached too closely. Each year, tourists in national parks like Yellowstone are injured or even killed during close encounters. Bison may charge without warning, using their horns to toss or trample perceived threats. Always observe them from a safe distance of at least 25 yards. Never attempt selfies or feed them. Respecting their space ensures your safety and that of the animals.
