The Story of the Bison

Before a storm comes in, winds tend to pick up as skies turn from clear blue to dull gray. Dark clouds begin to gather, and thunder can be heard rumbling in the distance. As storm approaches, animal intuitions kick in as herds of wild animals begin to run away from the storm.

But not the bison.

Bison know that when the other animals run from the storm, they rarely outrun it. Winds travel faster than the other animals, and as the storm catches up, herds are likely to be stuck in the bad weather even longer as they run along with it.

The bison’s reaction during a storm is unique: instead of running away, they charge towards the storm head on. They know that by facing into storm they get through it faster, and minimize the amount of risk, time, and frustration other animals experience from trying to run away from the inevitable.
