A Yellowstone National Park bison stampede is an awesome display of power and even grace as the colossal animals gallop across the landscape, en masse, with a sense of urgency known only to them.
But when there are highways, automobiles, and even guardrails in their paths, a stampede can feature some clumsy moments.
