Bison, not buffalo. Edit: note this happened outside of YNP actually.
It’s mating season for the bison. I’m kind of surprised about the grizzly, since bears are most aggressive during the spring. I hope more details come out.
Fun fact, there is a wilderness area on the southern border of Yellowstone NP called the Winegar Hole wilderness. It doesn’t have many trails. Never go there because it is prime bear mating territory!
Yes, technically Buffalo is incorrect, but it’s still used to refer to the animal. When someone says “buffalo in Yellowstone” it’s easy to infer that they mean bison. It’s like correcting someone for calling a fly a bug.

Well, I live in the area, and we always call them bison! Just spreading the word.
Yeah my bad, I will edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out. It is bison. I didn’t have coffee when I wrote that comment.
I honestly had gone through life thinking they were the same, so your comment had me googling and learning something new lol
This isn’t a taxonomical discussion. As such, it is not necessary to ‘correct’ someone for using a widely accepted and common colloquialism.
