Bagaimanapun, lelaki yang berani ini sanggup berhadapan dengan haiwan yang sedang naik minyak itu walaupun sedar akan bahaya risikonya.
Menerusi video yang dirakamkan itu, seorang lelaki yang hanya memakai stoking dilihat mengekori seekor bison yang sedang berkeliaran di sekitar laluan jalan raya di Taman Negara Yellowstone.
Seorang wanita bernama Lindsey Jones yang merakamkan insiden itu turut menceritakan bagaimana kejadian antara lelaki berkenaan dan bison itu boleh berlaku.
“Saya dan keluarga sedang memandu di Lembah Hayden, Yellowstone sambil memerhatikan hidupan liar dan lanskap. Kemudian berlaku kesesakan trafik kerana ada seekor bison di tengah jalan. Saya rakam kejadian ini dari dalam kereta semasa lelaki itu berjalan dan mengeluarkan bunyi mendengus”.
Tambah Lindsey lagi, “Kami sedang ada seorang lelaki memakai stoking berjalan menghampiri bison itu. Dia mengarahkan haiwan itu untuk berlalu pergi sebelum mencabar bison tersebut. Bison itu turut menyerangnya beberapa kali tetapi lelaki ini tetap tidak berganjak”.

Menurut Lindsey, lelaki itu kelihatan tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan yang teruk dan mereka sekeluarga juga tidak pasti apa yang berlaku pada lelaki itu memandangkan mereka meneruskan perjalanan tanpa menunggu sehingga ‘pertarungan’ itu selesai.
Sementara itu menurut Perkhidmatan Taman Negara, Yellowstone adalah satu-satunya kawasan di Amerika Syarikat yang menjadi habitat semulajadi bagi bison. Justeru, orang ramai dilarang untuk berada terlalu dekat jika haiwan-haiwan ini terlepas ke kawasan terbuka.
“Haiwan liar adalah sangat berbahaya dan tidak boleh dijangka. Pelawat disarankan untuk berada sekurang-kurangnya 90 meter dari beruang atau serigala dan 22 meter daripada hidupan liar lain”.

8 Ways to Lower Your Life Insurance Costs
REDUCE YOUR LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUMS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER YOU PURCHASE A POLICY
There are number of factors that impact your insurance costs. The average Canadian spends close to $58 per month (approx. $700 annually) on e.g. Term Life insurance, which is a significant cost block. This article lays out the main approaches that can be taken to lower these costs.
There are many explanations for the life insurance prices that you pay and it is important to understand what you can do to before and after you purchase your Policy to keep your premiums low without affecting your coverage.
YOU PLAN TO GET LIFE INSURANCE: WHAT CAN YOU DO TO LOWER THE COSTS?
Aside from the standard advice to shop around and get multiple quotes, there are number of things that you can do to get lower insurance quotes from life insurers.
1. Apply for the policy while you are young - most Canadians apply for life insurance in their early-to-mid thirties when they are getting engaged or married, or begin having children. Applying for the policy earlier will often get you better rates in return. According to statistical data, Canadians pay an average of $40 per month for a Term Policy with a similar coverage ($250-500k) if they are 31-35 years of age, $47 per month if they are 35-40 years of age, and as much as $64 if they are 51-55 years of age.
2. Be healthy when applying for the policy. Many insurance customers pay 25% more for their Policy because they are overweight. Staying in shape and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will not only eliminate this extra portion of the costs, but can also result in a discount of up to 25%.
3. Stop smoking well in advance of applying for an insurance policy. Insurers will expect to see at least a year without smoking in order to be granted the standard premiums. Otherwise, prepare yourself for premiums that are almost double.
4. Drive safely - Maintaining a clean driving record will be rewarded not only by your auto insurer, but also by your life insurance provider. You can avoid an extra 25-50% of additional costs that result from a poor driving record. Having a flawed driving record with several at-fault accidents can lead to a declining you by insurance companies.
YOU ALREADY HAVE A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY: HOW DO YOU LOWER ITS COSTS?
Surprisingly, many people are not aware of the ability to lower their insurance costs after purchasing a policy. The key is to improve your own risk profile, thus, making it less risky for the insurance company. Below are four simple approaches to enhance your risk profile:
1. Stop smoking - If you are able to demonstrate that you gave up smoking and have not returned to it for at least one year, you may lower your insurance costs.
2. Stop drinking - Limiting your alcohol consumption will positively impact your insurance budget. After one year of no drinking, it is time to talk to your insurance provider. Having a few glasses of wine each week is not a problem; however, drinking three to four beers a day will not reduce your rates.
3. Lose weight - Improving your physical fitness and health condition can be positively reflected in your life insurance premiums. You not only have the opportunity to reduce your premiums to the normal level, but can also qualify for a 'Premium Health Customer Discount' of up to an additional 25% off your life insurance premiums.
4. Keep driving safely - If you received your insurance policy with a poor driving record, there is a good chance it has increased your life insurance rates by as much as 25% to 50%. If your offenses are three or more years old, this becomes visible to insurers and you can get your insurance premiums adjusted accordingly.
