I tell ya, some people will believe anything!
On March 20th, some yahoo posted a video on YouTube claiming it captured buffalo in Yellowstone Park “running for their lives!” Ten days later that 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit, and now the video has gone viral and all sorts of people now think there’s going to be a supervolcano eruption in the park.
Why do people even care?
Well, it has something to do with the fact that the first eruption of that supervolcano shot lava that covered half of North America. Lots of living things died.
So that’s a great reason to be aware IF the darn thing was going to erupt.
But it’s not.
At least not according to every leading volcano expert in the world.
But I know that some of you won’t believe them, and why should you? Just because they’ve got far more education and experience with volcanoes than you, right? And you have a video of buffalo running that PROVES the volcano is going to erupt!
Except the buffalo are actually running TOWARD the volcano.

Some people are children. They like scary stories…
Do they wear tinfoil hats too?
Yes! 🙂
They fear reality, then they dream it.
That’s ok Rumpy. My mom’s blond (not lying) best friend thought that it was in Oklahoma and called her all freaked out…..go figure……
ROFL!
I read your post while watching a documentation about the eruption of the Ilopango….that’s a remarkable coincidence :o)
ACK! Run for your lives! *giggles*
My answer to all the possible end of the World scenarios is the same. It’ll get me off the hook with all those collection agents. 🙂
Really! LOL
In Japan, it’s said that catfish foretells earthquakes. 🙂
yeah, but who are they telling? the people that eat them?
I was wondering about this. Thanks for clearing that up.
the dude that posted the video stole it from someone else. LOL
Ha ha! Very cleverly put Rumpy! 🙂
MOL! Those buffaloes using the highway so theyza not lost in the forest!
Let’s see…didn’t PT Barnum say something to the effect that a fool is born every minute? What the buffalo are really running from are idiots chasing them saying, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Ha ha ha! Saw some scary talk about this – glad you blew it our of the water 😉
They don’t exactly look like they’re running for their lives…..more like they’re just out for their daily jog! 🙂
Haha, it looks like that to me too!
I believe animals can detect tremors and such way before humans. I recent tsunamis animals sought higher ground before it struck. The animal were safe. Seems to me humans should learn from them.
The buffaloes started the rumor. That’s what we think. wag wag, Max & Bella
We lubz buffaloez n dey iz so lubly….me finkz we lissen to da Hu’man xpertz n just enjoy da video….

I’m more impressed by the fact the buffalo had the courtesy to stay to the right! I mean, some humans don’t even do that!
ain’t THAT the truth!
The last known eruption of the Yellowstone volcano was around 1350 B.C., which places it within the time frame of human occupation of North America. But, the last known “super-volcanic” eruption occurred some 640,000 years ago. Tremors and earthquakes are common in Yellowstone, but the last major temblor – measuring 7.3 – happened in 1959. We never know what nature will do, so we can only hope for the best and make certain we have no outstanding credit card debt.
Interesting to see how the Buffalo’s know traffic regulations….running on the right side of the street! 😉
they know the traffic regulations…..haha, had to laugh at that line and let you for some strange reason know about it.
🙂
I saw in some documentary that before the tsunami struck the Philippines,wasn´t that the big one some year ago?, anyways that animals where the first to start hiking their way up the mountain as if saying something is not right here and maybe it´s better to get the hell out. Yeah, I do believe that animals are more sensitive or can predict some kind of natural disaster. Not all, but some at least. Why? Don´t have a clue. I´ll ask my dog.
That is true, but that is immediately before, not days, weeks, or months before.
Right, it´s a very short time before. So that´s good for me since I won´t have to worry too much if my two dogs start acting even stranger than what they allready are.
