Yellowstone Animals, Videos showing animals fleeing America’s Yellowstone National Park has prompted concerns the supervolcano beneath is about to erupt.

Footage appears to show bison and other animals in an exodus from the park causing a number of bloggers to speculate this could mean the volcano is about to explode, The Epoch Times reports.

The authors say that an earthquake that hit the area on 30 March appeared to have sent the animals scurrying for safety, and that this is could spell disaster for the volcano, which last erupted 640,000 years ago.

In a YouTube clip titled ALERT! Yellowstone Buffalo Running for Their Lives! bison are shown running along the road away from the park.

Blogger Jay Lee wrote in a post on his site tatoott1009.com: “Whether I believe this, or whether I don’t believe the story or not, I don’t know. I can tell you this story I saw this morning about the buffaloes running the street … whether or not it’s because of any activity in Yellowstone or not, I don’t know.

“But I’ll tell you this, whatever the case may be, that their running away from Yellowstone is an alert of some sort.

“It also could be from this video, where poachers are killing them, chasing them, abusing them, running them around. Could be hundreds of things for them to be running. I wanted you to listen and make up your own mind on what to think.”

While volcanic activity at Yellowstone has been frequently debated, as have what would happen if the volcano were to erupt, recently researchers have suggested the volcano may be dying.

Ken Sims, from the University of Wyoming, said air and water samples taken from the world’s largest volcano suggests it could be dying.

After measuring the acidity in water samples and radon in the air, they found that rather than erupting, the volcano may be on the verge of extinction, the Star Tribune reported.

Yellowstone National Park, High winds and blowing snow left approximately 160 travelers stranded over the weekend near the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park and complicated efforts to find a snowboarder lost in Grand Teton National Park’s Granite Canyon.

Whiteout conditions and heavy snow drifts left Grand Teton National Park snowplow operators unable to keep open a 22-mile stretch of highway between the Jackson Hole Airport and Moran Junction, 30 miles north of Jackson, Wyoming.

Travelers were temporarily stranded between Moran Junction and Flagg Ranch, according to a statement released Sunday by the Grand Teton National Park public affairs office.

Grand Teton park rangers closed the highway shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday and helped those stranded by providing food and makeshift accommodations at Signal Mountain Lodge, Flagg Ranch and the Moran Elementary School.

Park rangers staffed highway barricades throughout the stormy night Saturday and early Sunday morning and routed motorists to the provisional shelters. Rangers set up a barricade at the Jackson Hole Airport Junction and advised travelers to return to Jackson, eight miles south, for overnight lodging.

As conditions improved by around 4 a.m. Sunday, Grand Teton snowplow drivers began working to open a single lane allowing rangers to escort vehicles south from Moran Junction. Both lanes of highway 26/89/191 reopened at 7 a.m. and normal travel resumed.

Also during the blizzard, Grand Teton rangers were notified that a snowboarder had become separated from his party of six as they exited an out-of-bounds gate at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski area and headed toward Rock Springs Bowl Saturday afternoon.

Sam Hoerr, age 31, of Dunlap, Ill. mistakenly entered Granite Canyon in the backcountry of Grand Teton National Park. Hoerr sent a text message to his companions at 2:30 p.m. explaining that he intended to follow a creek out of the canyon.

Given the high avalanche danger and limited daylight, authorities launched a rescue effort, although high winds and poor visibility prevented the use of a helicopter.

The highway closure prevented park rangers from responding from rescue facilities at park headquarters in Moose, Wyoming. Rangers requested help from Teton County Search and Rescue volunteers.

Rescuers located Hoerr at approximately 8 p.m. and provided him with a “split board” so that he could more easily travel out of the backcountry canyon on his own. Search and Rescue personnel escorted Hoerr out of the canyon and returned safely to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort at around 10 p.m.
