Yellowstone Animals Fleeing Park

If Yellowstone erupts we won't have to worry about much. It will probably make Krakatoa look like a fart in the wind. On a side note, the ash cloud would replenish a lot of the world with amazing planting soil.

So why fleeing bison? Yellowstone tweeted this earlier today, channeling House Stark: “The real reason animals leave the park? Winter.” Mammals tend to migrate to lower elevations outside of the park where food resources are likely to be more abundant. When the snow melts, "those very same animals will walk right back to the park,” Nash adds. Oh and also, the video of running bison was filmed weeks (at least) before Sunday’s earthquake. 

 

 

But that’s not to say a cataclysmic eruption can’t happen. The Yellowstone region has produce three exceedingly large volcanic eruptions in the past 2.1 million years. Enormous volumes of magma erupted at the surface and into the atmosphere as mixtures of pumice, volcanic ash, and gas spread as pyroclastic flows in all directions, a USGS report describes. The ground collapsed, creating the broad, cauldron-shaped volcanic depressions called calderas. The last time this happened was 640,000 years ago, and since then, about 80 (far less devastating) eruptions of lava have occurred.

Damn right it would.

 

bad thing being.........how long before the next civilization reaps the benefits? A few thousands years?

Well I'll be there soon so if I blows while I am there, there will be no more huddle posting for me. Try not to party too hard

I routinely fertilize my yard with ash from my firepit. I also try to turn in several wheelbarrows into my garden. I get awesome crops every year.

Sounds like somebody saw "Dreamcatcher".

 

They probably regretted it too (i know I did).

those damn animals need to get a job

Animals smarter than humans.

Coldest winter ever, they're getting the hell out of there.

Damned global warming.

the thing about herd animals is they have a tendency to migrate.

 

And the prey animals tend to follow them. 

 

By June, they will be back in Yellowstone.
