To get the hell away from the 800-pound grizzly trying to eat him.

A photo of a half-mauled bison being chased down a Yellowstone park road by a large grizzly bear is authentic, according to park officials.

Yellowstone National Park West District Ranger Michael Keator tells KTVQ channel 2 in Billings, Montana that the photo, which recently began circulating on the web, was taken by a park employee in April 2010, between the Madison Junction and Old Faithful, in the Fountain Flats area of Yellowstone National Park.

The Bison wasnt mauled, it as apparently burnt from the hot springs, but there were no signs of attack apparently.

It ended up having to be put down to due to the burns etc.

Amazing pictures though.

The Bison got away!>>>>>http://www.kxlh.com/news/grizzly-versus-bison-the-rest-of-the-story/
"I thought it was a horse and carriage," said Wypyszinski. "That was the kind of noise that I heard."

By the time he turned around, the two fuzzy brown images were racing quickly toward him.

Wypyszinski pulled out his camera quickly, thinking he was going to catch two moose racing down the highway.

He quickly learned he was mistaken.

"I thought I was having a hallucination or something," said Wypyszinski. "I couldn't believe what that buffalo looked like."

It was a bison, badly burned from an encounter with one of the numerous hot spots in Yellowstone National Park.

The sight of such an injured bison alone is rare, but what Wypyszinski saw next was once in a lifetime.

"Never, ever, ever," said Wypyszinski. "I've seen plenty of bear, and more buffalo. But I've never seen anything like that before."

A grizzly was chasing the buffalo (which was practically cooked already) and gaining quickly.

Wypyszinski stopped his car on the desolate highway and took out his camera.

"I stood along the car as long as I thought it was safe."

The two beasts passed the man by without paying any notice.

The result: these hair-raising pictures.

We pick our tale up where the photos end.

Wypiszinski says once in the safety of the woods the bison out maneuvered the grizzly, escaping to live exactly one more day.

Park rangers had to put the bison down due to the injuries it sustained.

Quint, thanks for the link. That park ranger will love his job forever. A friend of mine is one, mostly at Gamble Rogers State Park in Flagler Beach. The place has a bunch of big rattlesnakes.

You consider the bison winning, even though it only lived one more day? The bear caused the injuries, right?

The bear maybe didn't get to eat it but it still won.

Apparently the bison had pre-existing injuries which were unbearable. Zing!

The bison's injuries were due to the hot springs...not the bear

The bear probably smelled burning bison and then came a runnin'!

No, the bear didnt do anything. He chased an injured bison, and couldnt get him. Bear fail. Bison lost in life, cause his ended via man, but he won the encounter with the bear.
