Tourists shocked as massive bison approaches them in Yellowstone National Park

A number of tourists were left shocked after a large bison approached and stood within a few feet of them at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

The footage filmed on July 22 shows the "massive beast" standing next to the chair the tourists were sitting on just moments before.

The filmer told Newsflare: "A bison approached us at Yellowstone and we retreated to our vehicle.

We had been watching this bison for a while down the road because he kept standing in the middle of the road blocking traffic.

"I wasn’t scared because we were a good distance away from the bison and there was a truck between us and the animal.

I think I was just in shock that this massive beast was so close to our chair where we were just sitting.

A second bison came up behind him and stared the chair for a long time.

"We thought that bison was going to attack the chair but it never did.

Both bison continued walking and crossed the street again and walked out of sight."
