Thanks to the Park Service for setting the record straight. They would be the first to warn and the first to evacuate if there were any serious indicators.
Sorry,I'm correct and not solely on my own opinion. What I post is grounded in fact and references. The NPS is one. The USGS/YVO is another (Volcanic alert level: Normal/Aviation Alert: Green) As much as you would like to believe the NPS would lie to get park fees, it's a stretch to say the YVO would lie and endanger the whole aviation industry (which is a much larger business) by not alerting them to possible eruptions that would toss ash thousands of feet high into jet engines. The USGS/YVO links are in the video comments.
Yellowstone won't be erupting anytime soon , in my opinion, after watching for YEARS now.... the real threat is in a noteworthy earthquake. 1950's there was a mid 7.0m earthquake for instance.... Could happen again sometime soon (again my... opinion after study for several years now).... which is why I'm bummed to see the park service DOWNPLAY the earthquake threat. IF you want to see something blow its top, like it seems a lot of people DO for some weird reason.... watch THIS instead of Yellowstone webcams "It's Gonna Blow!" compilation
CreepyPastaSpiders On top of one of the largest magma chambers in the world.......I don't think I would want to take my chances dismissing it as "not a big deal." "A report from scientists at the University of Utah shows that the “supervolcano” underneath Yellowstone has risen at a record rate since mid 2004. Apparently, a “pancake-shaped blob” of molten rock the size of Los Angeles was pressed in to the slumbering volcano, some six miles down." Yeah, don't think I would want to chance red hot fiery lava the size of L.A. dropping on my front lawn. LOL
I'm with you on this one, Sigmund. I wouldn't want to be right on top of it. I haven't many years left in this world unless the LORD comes soon; but I would like to see what happens instead of being part of the fireworks. :)
Ok, Thanks for posting this! I saw too many video's on "The Big One" that your suppose to have soon and I even visited your site to see if there was a evac. warning on your site!?? Thanks again for giving the all clear!!
As for the bison video: The spreading anxiety was caused by baseless rumors and deliberate misrepresentations of what those bison were actually doing in the video, according to Leo Leckie, a sales associate of the nonprofit Yellowstone Assn., an educational partner of Yellowstone National Park. Leckie ought to know. He shot the video, which lasts 1 minute and 9 seconds and was originally posted March 14 on his Facebook page under the title, “Yellowstone bison on the run for the joy of Spring.” Leckie: “And they were running into the park, not away from it.”
Hey Everybody, I live on the northern edge of Yellowstone. I go into the Park whenever I can, camping, fishing and photographing. It's a magical place like nowhere else on Earth. A geologist friend of mine, who doesn't work for the government told me if the caldera blows it might not happen for 1000 years or 10,000 years.Or it may never happen. It's just beyond our ability to predict. When I was a little kid (1959), we had an earthquake over magnitude 8. One of the biggest quakes ever recorded in No. America. A whole mountain slid into a river northwest of Yellowstone that buried a campground and it's occupants and created a lake behind it (Quake Lake) on the Madison River. My geologist friend said there is a much greater chance of a huge earthquake happening in California along one of the huge faults, rather than in and around Yellowstone because there are millions of faults and fractures releasing the geologic pressures constantly in earthquake swarms. And a huge volcano erupting is much more likely in the Coastal Range of Washington, Oregon and California. Shasta, Ranier, St Helens are all volcanos much closer to population areas. And volcanos rarely pop like corks. They start their rumbling well in advance of an eruption. So, it's not a govt. conspiracy or biblical warning. It's what the earth does and we can't do anything about it. Oh, and don't expect your government to save you from it.
I remember watching videos about the Mayan apocalypse years ago and reading the comments. A lot of the idiotic comments that appeared on those videos appear on this one. Example: "Wake up people" "The dude is lying, he's been paid off, etc." "It's all going to end." blah blah blah In fact, I remember the very same comments about the Large Hadron Collider and it causing black holes, etc... or any other conspiracy topic for that matter. My point is, don't be fooled by the fools.
Thank you kind sir for explaining the whole thing with the Yellowstone volcano and earthquake as well as the animals. You have common sense, a level head and you know what your talking about. I just wish others would stop with their crazy "its the end of the world run for your lives" crap already.
Maureen Lycaon Well as a watcher of Biblical prophesy being fulfilled I doubt it. The end time will be full of earthquakes and mass animal die offs, this is just part of the countdown. Check Matthew 24 in the King James version of the Bible it lays it all out.
it could be tomorrow or in a thousand years, but just before the caldera really blows there will be someone from there saying that there is not an issue. march 31 isn't the start of winter either...
doubt it. There would be so much evidence that it is going to about to blow that it would be impossible to hide. Extreme uplift in the caldera, and a series of cataclysmic earthquakes are going to be a little tough to conceal, but it looks like you've got this all figured out. You got one thing right. March 31 is not the start of winter. Not that the ranger said it was. But, at this latitude (I live in Yellowstone) and elevation, March 31 is most certainly still winter.
You know what I'd love to see happen? A volcano does, indeed, erupt somewhere in the park. Survivalists flee to their bunkers, tabloids breathlessly predict the caldera blowing, conspiracy theorists crow that they were right all along . . . . . . and nothing more happens. Just a single volcano blowing for a few days, and then the caldera lapses into quiescence for the next million years.
What about the issue of the gas known as Helium-4, which always precedes volcanic eruptions, currently being at a level hundreds to thousands of times normal at Yellowstone? I know this information is likelier to be true and more difficult to refute because I've read it in numerous credible publications such as www.livescience.com/43495-yellowstone-ancient-helium-gas-emissions.html and www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/yellowstone-belches-ancient-helium-180949799/?no-ist There is also the matter of the ground in the region rising between 3.5 and 10 inches recently, which seems that in combination with the excess of helium-4, would suggest the supervolcano is closer to an eruption than not. I can understand officials' not wanting to report all of the information of concern pertaining to the Yellowstone supervolcano so as not to panic the public, but really, I think most of us would be more inclined to appreciate being told the TRUTH.
In the words of Jake Lowenstern, lead scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and author of the article on helium (published in the journal Nature) that's caused some confusion: "Nothing in the paper implies any increased volcanic hazard at Yellowstone. The paper reported that emissions of a non-toxic gas, helium, increased two million years ago when volcanic activity started at Yellowstone. The gas was being stored in earth's crust and thus was released in large amounts when volcanism began, and continues today. This is of scientific interest, but has no implications about current hazards at Yellowstone. There was no discussion in the paper of increased helium emissions in recent years. We have not detected any. The kind of helium that we discussed (helium-4) is not associated with deep magma. It is the other kind of helium (helium-3) that has sometimes been linked to new magma and thus an increased likelihood of new eruptions."
Maybe you should delete your comment since you are WRONG!! Or at least thank the channel for responding back to you Hillary! ... here we are 6 years later...
Kinda just wish it would, give this country a wake up call on several levels of perspective. There will be casualties.. but god DAMN will you hug your neighbor.
I think you underestimate what this volcano would do if it were to erupt. About half of the United States would be wiped out. Here's a map of the projected radius this volcano would affect: www.timeline2012.net/images/earth-events-volcanoes/volcanoyellowstoneeruptionareaswww_uwec_edu.jpg
Not only would half of the country be covered in burning ash but so much dust would be released in the atmosphere that global temperatures would rise at an astounding rate effectively wiping out humans. I guess that would be a wake up call? Idiot
The funny thing about conspiracy theorists is, they're always so quick to dismiss someone who is an actual official and has experience in whatever the field may be because they think they know just as, if not more than them. However, most of them have never even taken a basic course in anything they claim to have so much "knowledge" on.
One problem here. There wasn't a ton of snow in the video I watched of the buffalo running down the road. Sure there was snow up on the mountain and even a little snow lower down, but nothing like what this video suggests. I'm not convinced. I think the buffalo might know something that we don't.
I promise you. There is plenty of snow here. Our last freeze date is May 15. The snows won't melt for another two months. The buffalo come and go with the seasons. This year is no different.
I find it amusing when people who don't live here feel the need to comment on our weather. It is still winter here...it's 35 degrees and snowing as I write this post....and I'm in the lower elevations outside the park.
I agree and understand what you are saying but that IS how animals work and that is my point. Animals respond when the danger is close...not a week or a month out. They don't rush off because they are thinking logically of what might happen..they respond to something happening. Plus there isn't a mention of them still running away (Bison or any other park animals). And if you have ever seen animals run in fear...that video of them trotting down the road is not "in fear". It's just typical for some individuals to believe rumors instead of science and facts of what is really going on. They tend to not think about other possibilities or that people are making things up so they can go viral. Like that never happens. Like if I say the word apocalyptic and show a video of animals leaving in a trot down a road, the masses believe because that is something worth talking about...it's exciting, but if I say there is no scientific backing to these claims and that these animals migrate all the time for various reasons, I'm hiding something. BORING! It's just silliness. Like people believing in the Mayan calender. If it blows, it blows and if you are near it, you will definitely know and there is nothing you can do about it. Saying it is overdue is silly too because um I don't think there is a specific time frame volcanoes are suppose to adhere to? I'm pretty sure I read the last eruption was something like 630k years ago. Ya...50000 years ago you could say it was past due also. It's just silly stuff. Silly I tell you!
What about the helium 3 and helium 4 levels that are known to rise before a eruption? And what about the 10 inch ground level rise a couple months ago? And there happens to be USGS geologist that is communicating these concerns and he is stationed there!
HEINRICXVI probably one of the main reasons why so many Americans are fat. Humans were meant to be outside and physically active....running and hunting animals, climbing trees foraging for food, staying relatively lean.
I sure wish this was captioned so I could share it with my Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends who are very concerned about the rumors being spread. I'm sure Chief Nash is working from a script, why not add the transcription to your videotapes to make them more accessible? Thanks.
The video is captioned: you just need to activate the captions by clicking the "CC" button on the video player. Let us know if you continue to have trouble.
My apologies; my Deaf friend did say that he saw the captions, after I commented. I am using Safari as my browser and the CC icon does not appear for me on your videos, though it does on others. Thanks so much!
Herbivores can't eat plants from the same place for an extended period without experiencing the defense measures of the plants (i.e. extremely high tannin levels or the reduction of nutrients in the leafs). That's why herbivores (and the carnivores that eats them) are nomads.
I think the key points here are that "most of them are so small nobody ever feels them", and the fact that you've recently had a fucking 4.9! Something is changing, yeah?
CrystalTanaka4 well, my point isn't that you felt it or not... humans are NOT a good source of data. The machines haven't measured anything of size for 30 years, and recently they did. So you feeling it or not feeling it, is irrelevant to the data.
4.9 honestly isn't that much mann.To quote the Richter Scale's wiki article: "Noticeable shaking of indoor objects and rattling noises. Felt by most people in the affected area. Slightly felt outside. Generally causes none to minimal damage. Moderate to significant damage very unlikely. Some objects may fall off shelves or be knocked over." It's only when we start hitting the 6-6.9 end that damage starts to set in, and a supervolcano like the Yellowstone Caldera would be sending out at least that if it was on the verge of eruption.
I always find it amusing when some official says, "We have seen no evidence that..." Obviously, you won't see any evidence if your eyes are closed. An interesting point about this video is the eery similarity in the voice intonation patterns of this park ranger and the voice patterns of NASA's David Morrison in his Nibiru-debunking video. I think that they must have been coached by the same acting coach.
Christopher Hunt You speak as though conspiracy theorists are to be automatically dismissed. Do you even know what the word "conspiracy" means? Have you ever investigated the evidence gathered by a single "conspiracy theorist"? REJECTION WITHOUT INVESTIGATION IS THE HEIGHT OF IGNORANCE. You, sir, are ignorant.
dooglitas Well considering the multitudes of Nibiru predictions that have time and time again failed to happen, the fact remains that this planet-x doesn't exist and isn't headed toward us. So every shred of "evidence" dealing with Nibiru was false and at best ignorant speculation. Like-wise, following your logic that the Voice tone matches between David Morrison and this Park Ranger, it is a safe bet that the Ranger is being far more honest about this than you are. You can fact check what the ranger has said here and discover that indeed animals migrate in and out around this time each year, that earthquake activity is normal and ground swelling is not increasing more than was expected. Now fact check the conspiracy, earthquakes have not increased beyond predicted rates, animals are not fleeing but are returning to the same areas that they would normally move to this time of year, Helium 4 only indicates that the hotspot has drifted over very old stone where it would be stored and has little to do with eruption times not to mention is happened in February and Helium 4 is not the majority of Helium being released, rather it is still Helium 3 and those levels are not rising any faster than normal. But you're wrong about another thing, Rejection without investigation isn't ignorant, assertion without investigation is the height of ignorance! Rejection without investigation of assertions made in ignorance is the height of intelligence! You're the pot calling the kettle black!
Adam Ihnken You're wrong about my statement about rejection without investigation. It is certainly ignorant to reject something without investigating the claims. Yes, assertion without investigation is also ignorant. They are both ignorant. First, I am not saying that Yellowstone is going to blow. I am just saying that I don't believe that we are being told the truth. It is a fact that the USGS has been obscuring the number of earthquakes occurring there. Also, no one has ever witnessed a supervolcano eruption. Honest geologists admit that they don't really know precisely what signs would precede an eruption. Yes, animals do migrate. Of course, I realize that. However, in the video they show clips of animals in deep snow migrating. The videos posted on RUclips show animals running who are not in deep snow. It is currently the beginning of spring. The animals should have already migrated many weeks ago. If they are migrating now, it should be back into the park, not away from it. People in the area have reported that the behavior of the animals is not normal behavior. This is a subject of enormous importance. Dismissing it lightly is foolishness. There are geologists who are very concerned about the Yellowstone volcano. They are not the once who get interviewed by the mainstream media. Regarding Nibiru (planet X/Hercolobus/heavy mass object/brown dwarf), the fact some predictions by individuals have not panned out is not proof that Nibiru is not there. There is a great deal of evidence that some cosmic object is out there affecting the earth, the sun, and all the planets of the solar system. There is historical evidence that such a body exists and that it has caused cataclysmic upheavals on earth at regular intervals. There is historical evidence that this body was discovered by scientists and that this discovery was later covered up. There is also a long, growing list of astronomers who have dealt with this issue who have met strange, untimely deaths. It is obvious that you have not really investigated the "Nibiru" issue very deeply. We are not living in "normal" times. Something very big is about to happen politically, economically, and geologically. You can play ostrich with your head in the sand while the train comes barreling down on you if you like. To each his own.
Adam Ihnken i dont believe in niburu or that krap but they have dicovered a planetoid out past pluto and there is evidence that there may be a large object out further that influences the planetoids and asteroids out there its very interesting indeed
There may be a whole lotta shakin' going on in Y-Stone but that's in fact normal and anyone who knows anything about the park knows that's been well publicized and common knowledge for many many years. The paranoid comments being made here sound petty, juvenile, and silly. If the Park Service refused to officially deny these playground rumors the same people would scream the official silence indicates a coverup of danger. There are legitimate threats to our safety and well being about which we should be concerned. It just so happens that our first national park is not one of them.
They sure seemed to miss the mark when Mount Saint Helen's erupted. Oh yeah they are such experts who know what they are talking about but they have never been able to warn a single place before a volcano was ready to erupt. Opps lets not consider reality here. name one single volcano that anyone has ever been warned about in time.
Actually, Mt Saint Helen's eruption was totally prepared for, and the mountain had been evacuated almost 100%. A little reading before commenting would probably go a long way for you.
I thought elk sheep deer moose all came down the mountain in winter, that is what is in wildlife doccumentaries,not at the beggining of spring, they begin to migrate back in spring?
March 31 is not spring in our northernmost states at elevations of 5,500 ft to over 11,000 ft. like Yellowstone is. And btw, moose more often go up in elevation in winter.
Hahaha! Just take a look - in your footage with migrating bisons they just walk. What we saw recently? They RUN away really fast (for them). Also you talk about winter... Winter begins in the end of march now? What about other major earthquakes in recent time? What about 1000x more Helium 4 release than before? What about rasing temperatures in caldera? Why USGS deletes info about earthquakes from their site? I don't trust you much, guy...
Anri Orlow Volcano dust? They have a scientific term for it, it's called ASH. That being said, you are a moron. Give me one link that shows major earthquakes recently or 1000x Helium 4. I live an hour and a half from Yellowstone, I would think we would have known about MAJOR earthquakes recently. Keep drinking the kool-aid Anri. KCCO...
Rob Peterson If I'm speaking English not perfectly, (because it's not my native language) it does not give you a right to call me a "moron". Please, be more courteous, especially when you are a representative of your country in eyes of foreign citezen. Thanks
Look up RUclips vids of Yellowstone Park as far back as 2007 and you'll see Bison walking and running on the road; some even slam onto cars on the road. They own the park...they'll walk anywhere they want to and if you don't like it, they'll slam onto your car too! Bottom line, there is nothing different about animal behavior today then it was five or six years ago.
In the words of Jake Lowenstern, lead scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and author of a recent article on helium (published in the journal Nature) that's caused some confusion: "Nothing in the paper implies any increased volcanic hazard at Yellowstone. The paper reported that emissions of a non-toxic gas, helium, increased two million years ago when volcanic activity started at Yellowstone.

It is the other kind of helium (helium-3) that has sometimes been linked to new magma and thus an increased likelihood of new eruptions."
YellowstoneNPS whatever you say Mr ranger but the buffalo fleeing is all over the news today and the articles say there are other animals fleeing at an alarming rate. would you mind if i send Darrel Issa there to clarify things for us.
@@palestone3 that is just the seasonal migratory behaviour of bison. Since the herd has reached the thousands they have established several migration paths all across the northern portions of Yellowstone that extend outside the park’s borders.
@@CutlassChic500 Well, I picked yours for the absolute ignorance. And the time that has passed since you aired your ignorance has given the facts enough time to settle. I'm still curious where you were finding such terrible information. You lie to people and get called out, and I'm the troll. Got it, genius.
It's already warming up the animals should have left long a go for winter. Not to mention all the other animals, of which have different migrating patterns, are leaving about the same time. Now add the 4.8 earthquake I say start packing.
Third coldest winter on record won't warm up at the same rate. Also Yellowstone is a fucking volcano, they have had earthquakes since we started measuring there.
lol... Weather it will or won't I don't think anyone really knows....If it does, no one can stop it.... This could also be spin control... I'm within the 500 mile radious, so if it blows, I guess it's, see ya'll in the next life...
Yeah. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. "It's just a bunny." Okay, he says, "They go down to warm up" because "it's the depth of winter right now." LOLOL! Okay, ass. Show us the footage of them walking back INTO the park.
19.5 deg. on any active planet (c/w magnetic field) is the most active dimensional hotspot. On Jupiter it is the Great Red Spot. Hawaii is the 19.5 deg spot, from which balanced pressure/heat/magma, etc. is released. If a massive rogue planet or star came into the solar system, etc.; then, things would heat up beyond the heat-sink capacity of the earth/moon system. Thousands of underwater volcanoes have potential for Supervolcano status. It appears the Earth is 'tuned' for longevity.
En réalité, cette vidéo a été publiée deux semaines avant le fort séisme : elle date du 14 mars, sur la page Facebook de Leo Leckie, l'un des dirigeants de l'ONG Yellowstone Association, partenaire du parc national, qui l'assortit du commentaire : « Les bisons du Yellowstone galopent joyeusement, fêtant le printemps qui arrive. » La vidéo se voit alors détournée, et publiée de nouveau sur RUclips, le 20 mars, mais cette fois sous le titre «Alerte ! Les bisons de Yellowstone fuient pour sauver leur vie». « Ces bisons couraient pour le plaisir de courir, rectifie Leo Leckie dans une interview au Los Angeles Times. Rien ne les poursuivaient ; il n'y avait pas de glissement de terrain. Ils couraient tout simplement. » « C'était une journée printanière et ils étaient fougueux. C'est un phénomène qui arrive souvent, ce n'était pas la fin du monde », confirme à Reuters Amy Bartlett, l'une des porte-parole du parc. L'instinct supposé des animaux qui leur permettrait de prévoir les catastrophes naturelles et notamment les séismes est loin d'avoir été démontré par les scientifiques. Surtout, dans cette scène, les bovidés ne fuient pas Yellowstone mais galopent au contraire vers l'intérieur du parc. « Il peut arriver que des bisons, des wapitis ou d'autres animaux se déplacent à l'extérieur du parc, mais ils le font parce que la nourriture est un peu difficile à trouver à l'intérieur de Yellowstone au cœur de l'hiver », explique Al Nash, le responsable des affaires publiques du parc Yellowstone, dans une vidéo qui vise à «débunker» la rumeur. A liore plus en détail dans Le Monde : ecologie.blog.lemonde.fr/2014/04/10/hoax-ecolo-les-bisons-du-yellowstone-fuient-une-eruption-volcanique-devastatrice/?IdTis=XTC-FUFQ-A2Q6AV-DD-CV4AE-9HQR
Ah people are just being aware. At least people do know of the volcano is factor and that things are gonna happen to be real bad one day. I just hope that people plan and prepare for anything.
Thanks for the clarification YellowstoneNPS Besides the "oh ma gerd conspiracy" commentaries out there, this is actually a pretty informative video on the #geological formation that makes for a great national treasure. #nationalpark
Response to the NPS downplaying earthquake potential ... :) lol ... When they tell you not to panic, that's when you run agreed no eruption... but a large EQ ... that's a real possibility.
He said that animals in winter go to lower places to eat. Then tell me what is all that green stuff on the ground and some green bush type plants that you can see at the ACTUAL BISON FUTAGE???!!!
I'll come back in 10 years - 20 years, and when Yellowstone still hasn't erupted, I'm going to be sitting here remembering all the youtube comments saying it would erupt soon, thinking... I told you it wouldn't :)
When Yellowstone erupts, if humans are even inhabiting the planet at that point, I don't thing that will be your thought. You'll either be dead, or wishing you were. If you're in the US, prepare for feet of ash covering the ground making it impossible to grow food to feed the folks that didn't die. Living in another country or continent? Prepare for decades without sunlight as ash completely fills our atmosphere stopping plant growth in areas that weren't covered in ash. I have a feeling that your, oh so clever "I told you so" will feel uninformed and ignorant.
hmm He says it's common for the beasts to move. Well, he's right, but the video he shows IS in the dead of winter when also the Bison would naturally move slower. Mr. Yellowstone the video's I've seen with the beasts running in some direction, presumably 'out of town', occurred recently and with no snow. jussayin
YellowstoneNPS I see. So like anywhere else, the elevation and location are in question then. Not to mention that, "In the dead of winter" are his words as he refers to your video. I guess March 28 could be considered the dead of winter in some perspective. But I've been in Yellowstone at various times of the year, including March, as I once lived for 4 years in Bozeman Mt. So I'm telling you that my experience there coupled with this mans narrative to your video, is a disingenuous representation of the facts. That said, may I ask then, with all of the behavior we see today from virtually every aspect of government, how would we know whether you as a governmental representative are not being equally disingenuous with any news that would matter most to the public? Because in truth, the so called 'ring of fire' has never in recorded time (with the records I've witnessed) been as active as it is currently. And please don't try to tell anyone that the Ring of Fire has nothing to do with Yellowstone. An old saying goes, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." In other words, people such as yourself, in offices such as yours, are being discovered to be no more than agents of disinformation and frankly I only see your posting as a sort of would be damage control.
YellowstoneNPS I know. My harshness really shouldn't be taken on a personal level. More to the point is this imbalance is causing reaction from the people. Always has really, and it should be clear why. People always react to oppression. The more reaction, the more oppression. Please stop.
I can't believe people are so stupid that they believe animals would know that an impending apocalypse is coming. If they did, they would be running in fear, not walking out! When this happens, it will block out the sun, and be the end of the life on the planet. I am tempted to set up camp right on top of the volcano. If the world is due to disappear, I want to go with the first ugly bang! Not left to suffer behind.
Devine Yes, and they appear agitated and stressed. They are not casually cruising. You need to watch the documentary on Netflix about Yellowstone Park. It covers how the bison leave every year in search for food, as do a whole bunch of other species, and they return later on. You appear to be the only one that doesn't know this.
"I can't believe people are so stupid that they believe animals would know that an impending apocalypse is coming." I was merely commenting that this statement is wrong, and that animals likely would have foreknowledge of an apocalyptic earthquake or volcano.
Devine Although animals may sense an impending earthquake or thunderstorm, or tornado, or any natural anomaly, they would not know any as an 'apocalyptic' one. If they did - they would show more fear and be running like hell. That area had an earthquake recently, but it is not the first, and won't be the last. California gets them too, and animals that migrate for food there are not doing that because of the earthquakes. The manner in which they are leaving Yellowstone is not only calm and slow, most importantly it is the same routine they do every year for hundreds of years now, and at the same time of year to boot! That was my point. You cannot use this "routine" behavior as a basis to form an argument that the apocalyptic volcano day in Yellowstone must now be upon us. The argument is full of holes, and therefore weak.
love how he says they're leaving because they're trying to find food..and when winter is over they'll be "walking back to the park"... well they're running away from it now....RUNNING
dancenstar I live 20 minutes outside of the park's north gate, the park's not closed, a road in the park is closed, the bison never left, they can't leave, there's a fence keeping them in the park area because of a disease called brucellosis that ranchers fear will spread to their livestock, read what you want... I live here and see thousands of cars and asian tour buses everyday. If they're not going to the park then where are they going?
***** Ok... i dont mean to criticize u my friend... but i see a lot of bisons and other animals running amock... can u pls explain tht to me?? again, i am not criticising u... i am just curious and want to know the truth
what animals do you see running amok? Fences keep the bison in and the elk went back up into the mountains in May when the snow lifted enough for them to graze, so I'm not sure what other animals you mean. As for the roads, if you've ever been to Yellowstone you'll see that it's a very wet place, water under the surface of everything around here get's heated by everything shifting around us constantly, same with the water, and if you've ever been outside in the middle of the summer when the sun is beating down hard you'd know that road's get soft pretty easy. So if you put a road over hot water it's gonna melt, it's that easy. It happens around the park all the time, and it's because of the thermal features we live around that we get to swim in the middle of winter when it's -20. If the park was closed all our friends who work there for the concessions company wouldn't be working 12 hours shifts to keep up with the demand of tourists. If you step back and look at what's going on, it's really pretty simple to understand. If there was actual problems in the park, I'd feel them, see them with my own eyes, smell it in the air... none of that's going on right now. It's actually been cooler outside and have had a longer rainy season which has kept the fires down so far this year.
I GUESS THE HELIUM 4 releasing, is also normal even though its 1000 times more than usual. wonder what he gets paid to lie to humanity. little does he know hes not getting paid, but paying HIS SOUL.
There actually are reports of more helium being released but that is a good thing! That means the internal pressure of the magma chamber is going down!
Not true. There are plenty of signs that will indicate an eruption could be coming. As for your certainty of future eruption, the former head of geology for Yellowstone Nat. Park refuses to say that he sees a future eruption as imminent. I'm following him.
If there are several shallow quakes that are real close to the surface. Thats when you need to get worried. There are underwater volcanoes in the pacific and atlantic that make Caldera look like a zit on a fly's ass. The Ocean ones are end of life deals.
Thank you for clarifying the situation.
Thanks to the Park Service for setting the record straight. They would be the first to warn and the first to evacuate if there were any serious indicators.
Sorry,I'm correct and not solely on my own opinion. What I post is grounded in fact and references. The NPS is one. The USGS/YVO is another (Volcanic alert level: Normal/Aviation Alert: Green)
As much as you would like to believe the NPS would lie to get park fees, it's a stretch to say the YVO would lie and endanger the whole aviation industry (which is a much larger business) by not alerting them to possible eruptions that would toss ash thousands of feet high into jet engines.
The USGS/YVO links are in the video comments.
A sensible breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Yellowstone won't be erupting anytime soon , in my opinion, after watching for YEARS now.... the real threat is in a noteworthy earthquake.
1950's there was a mid 7.0m earthquake for instance....
Could happen again sometime soon (again my... opinion after study for several years now).... which is why I'm bummed to see the park service DOWNPLAY the earthquake threat.
IF you want to see something blow its top, like it seems a lot of people DO for some weird reason.... watch THIS instead of Yellowstone webcams
"It's Gonna Blow!" compilation
***** Do you seriously consider 4.9 to be a 'major earthquake'?
Very funny, Dutch. :D I enjoyed that.
CreepyPastaSpiders
On top of one of the largest magma chambers in the world.......I don't think I would want to take my chances dismissing it as "not a big deal."
"A report from scientists at the University of Utah shows that the “supervolcano” underneath Yellowstone has risen at a record rate since mid 2004. Apparently, a “pancake-shaped blob” of molten rock the size of Los Angeles was pressed in to the slumbering volcano, some six miles down."
Yeah, don't think I would want to chance red hot fiery lava the size of L.A. dropping on my front lawn. LOL
I'm with you on this one, Sigmund. I wouldn't want to be right on top of it. I haven't many years left in this world unless the LORD comes soon; but I would like to see what happens instead of being part of the fireworks. :)
***** Right there with ya Craziejane69....LOL I dont want to be the statistic on the CNN coverage.
Ok, Thanks for posting this! I saw too many video's on "The Big One" that your suppose to have soon and I even visited your site to see if there was a evac. warning on your site!?? Thanks again for giving the all clear!!
As for the bison video:
The spreading anxiety was caused by baseless rumors and deliberate misrepresentations of what those bison were actually doing in the video, according to Leo Leckie, a sales associate of the nonprofit Yellowstone Assn., an educational partner of Yellowstone National Park.
Leckie ought to know. He shot the video, which lasts 1 minute and 9 seconds and was originally posted March 14 on his Facebook page under the title, “Yellowstone bison on the run for the joy of Spring.”
Leckie: “And they were running into the park, not away from it.”
Hey Everybody, I live on the northern edge of Yellowstone. I go into the Park whenever I can, camping, fishing and photographing. It's a magical place like nowhere else on Earth. A geologist friend of mine, who doesn't work for the government told me if the caldera blows it might not happen for 1000 years or 10,000 years.Or it may never happen. It's just beyond our ability to predict. When I was a little kid (1959), we had an earthquake over magnitude 8. One of the biggest quakes ever recorded in No. America. A whole mountain slid into a river northwest of Yellowstone that buried a campground and it's occupants and created a lake behind it (Quake Lake) on the Madison River. My geologist friend said there is a much greater chance of a huge earthquake happening in California along one of the huge faults, rather than in and around Yellowstone because there are millions of faults and fractures releasing the geologic pressures constantly in earthquake swarms. And a huge volcano erupting is much more likely in the Coastal Range of Washington, Oregon and California. Shasta, Ranier, St Helens are all volcanos much closer to population areas. And volcanos rarely pop like corks. They start their rumbling well in advance of an eruption. So, it's not a govt. conspiracy or biblical warning. It's what the earth does and we can't do anything about it. Oh, and don't expect your government to save you from it.
I remember watching videos about the Mayan apocalypse years ago and reading the comments. A lot of the idiotic comments that appeared on those videos appear on this one.
Example: "Wake up people" "The dude is lying, he's been paid off, etc." "It's all going to end." blah blah blah
In fact, I remember the very same comments about the Large Hadron Collider and it causing black holes, etc... or any other conspiracy topic for that matter.
My point is, don't be fooled by the fools.
I'll sleep better tonight knowing
Public Affairs Chief Al Nash is in charge of the volcano
Thank you kind sir for explaining the whole thing with the Yellowstone volcano and earthquake as well as the animals. You have common sense, a level head and you know what your talking about. I just wish others would stop with their crazy "its the end of the world run for your lives" crap already.
Public affairs says it all, say whatever it takes to keep people believing its the same ole thing "No need to worry" RIGHT!!!
Or, they could, you know, like, be telling the truth.
And maybe those anonymous RUclips conspiracy videos are *gasp* not totally trustworthy!
Maureen Lycaon
Well as a watcher of Biblical prophesy being fulfilled I doubt it. The end time will be full of earthquakes and mass animal die offs, this is just part of the countdown. Check Matthew 24 in the King James version of the Bible it lays it all out.
The Master Sergeant I’m scared for the end times
Hi I'm from the government I'm here to help you.
Run like hell!
"In the depth of winter" WTF?!? It is definitely spring now right? LOL
Spring comes a little later to Yellowstone: the shots in this video of bison walking in the park were filmed last Friday.
It snows here in Michigan in the spring too. After the equinox it is definitely not the "depth of winter".
@@blakeinkzoo we're just a little higher here at 5,500 ft to over 11,000 ft, So try again.
Barney Fife reassures us "'Nothin' to see here-move along".
it could be tomorrow or in a thousand years, but just before the caldera really blows there will be someone from there saying that there is not an issue. march 31 isn't the start of winter either...
He didn't say start. He aid middle. He's pretty far north. It lasts a bit longer up there
doubt it. There would be so much evidence that it is going to about to blow that it would be impossible to hide. Extreme uplift in the caldera, and a series of cataclysmic earthquakes are going to be a little tough to conceal, but it looks like you've got this all figured out. You got one thing right. March 31 is not the start of winter. Not that the ranger said it was. But, at this latitude (I live in Yellowstone) and elevation, March 31 is most certainly still winter.
You know what I'd love to see happen?
A volcano does, indeed, erupt somewhere in the park. Survivalists flee to their bunkers, tabloids breathlessly predict the caldera blowing, conspiracy theorists crow that they were right all along . . .
. . . and nothing more happens. Just a single volcano blowing for a few days, and then the caldera lapses into quiescence for the next million years.
Ahh, thank you, wonderful news. Will share.
What about the issue of the gas known as Helium-4, which always precedes volcanic eruptions, currently being at a level hundreds to thousands of times normal at Yellowstone? I know this information is likelier to be true and more difficult to refute because I've read it in numerous credible publications such as www.livescience.com/43495-yellowstone-ancient-helium-gas-emissions.html and www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/yellowstone-belches-ancient-helium-180949799/?no-ist There is also the matter of the ground in the region rising between 3.5 and 10 inches recently, which seems that in combination with the excess of helium-4, would suggest the supervolcano is closer to an eruption than not. I can understand officials' not wanting to report all of the information of concern pertaining to the Yellowstone supervolcano so as not to panic the public, but really, I think most of us would be more inclined to appreciate being told the TRUTH.
In the words of Jake Lowenstern, lead scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and author of the article on helium (published in the journal Nature) that's caused some confusion:
"Nothing in the paper implies any increased volcanic hazard at Yellowstone.
The paper reported that emissions of a non-toxic gas, helium, increased two million years ago when volcanic activity started at Yellowstone. The gas was being stored in earth's crust and thus was released in large amounts when volcanism began, and continues today. This is of scientific interest, but has no implications about current hazards at Yellowstone.
There was no discussion in the paper of increased helium emissions in recent years. We have not detected any.
The kind of helium that we discussed (helium-4) is not associated with deep magma. It is the other kind of helium (helium-3) that has sometimes been linked to new magma and thus an increased likelihood of new eruptions."
Your reading comprehension skills could use a wee bit improvement there Hill.
Maybe you should delete your comment since you are WRONG!! Or at least thank the channel for responding back to you Hillary! ... here we are 6 years later...
Been to yellowstone several times. I've seen buffalo running on the road as well... Nothing new, but still a cool sight.
Kinda just wish it would, give this country a wake up call on several levels of perspective. There will be casualties.. but god DAMN will you hug your neighbor.
You'd be doing more than hugging them.
A wake up call? It would flatten North America
I think you underestimate what this volcano would do if it were to erupt. About half of the United States would be wiped out. Here's a map of the projected radius this volcano would affect: www.timeline2012.net/images/earth-events-volcanoes/volcanoyellowstoneeruptionareaswww_uwec_edu.jpg
Not only would half of the country be covered in burning ash but so much dust would be released in the atmosphere that global temperatures would rise at an astounding rate effectively wiping out humans. I guess that would be a wake up call? Idiot
*
The funny thing about conspiracy theorists is, they're always so quick to dismiss someone who is an actual official and has experience in whatever the field may be because they think they know just as, if not more than them. However, most of them have never even taken a basic course in anything they claim to have so much "knowledge" on.
That looks like a really cool job.
One problem here. There wasn't a ton of snow in the video I watched of the buffalo running down the road. Sure there was snow up on the mountain and even a little snow lower down, but nothing like what this video suggests. I'm not convinced. I think the buffalo might know something that we don't.
I promise you. There is plenty of snow here. Our last freeze date is May 15. The snows won't melt for another two months. The buffalo come and go with the seasons. This year is no different.
I find it amusing when people who don't live here feel the need to comment on our weather. It is still winter here...it's 35 degrees and snowing as I write this post....and I'm in the lower elevations outside the park.
So should I cancel my trip for next month
yeah i saw a post about that and just kinda paniced, although more inwardly
There have been ponds & lakes that have gotten smaller and some have disappeared too...... noticed he didn't mention that.
And what does that mean? Why do you think it means what you think it means?
Couldn't that just be because of the crazy droughts we've had during that passed few summers?
No, that hasn't happened. Where do you hear this?
why is this video taken in the winter and not the spring?
Actually, many of the clips in this video, including all the bison, were shot on Friday, March 28th (just a few days before we posted this).
The park needs to be made bigger. So the animals have more space to wander
Al's a cool guy. Reminds me of my grandpa who was a forest ranger in his early 20s... I'm pretty sure in Yellowstone
the last person I would believe is a govt office saying its ok nothing to worry about LOL
it most likely will erupt and the governemtn wont tell us because people would prepare and survive
its funny they use a guy that looks like an average grandfather and that s supposed to make us trust what hes saying more LOL
paranoia. It’s what you got 7 years later.
And yet here it is, the 3rd, four days later and no eruption. What a surprise.
That's not how volcanoes work, even though I doubt there will be an eruption anytime remotely soon.
I agree and understand what you are saying but that IS how animals work and that is my point. Animals respond when the danger is close...not a week or a month out. They don't rush off because they are thinking logically of what might happen..they respond to something happening. Plus there isn't a mention of them still running away (Bison or any other park animals). And if you have ever seen animals run in fear...that video of them trotting down the road is not "in fear".
It's just typical for some individuals to believe rumors instead of science and facts of what is really going on. They tend to not think about other possibilities or that people are making things up so they can go viral. Like that never happens. Like if I say the word apocalyptic and show a video of animals leaving in a trot down a road, the masses believe because that is something worth talking about...it's exciting, but if I say there is no scientific backing to these claims and that these animals migrate all the time for various reasons, I'm hiding something. BORING!
It's just silliness. Like people believing in the Mayan calender. If it blows, it blows and if you are near it, you will definitely know and there is nothing you can do about it. Saying it is overdue is silly too because um I don't think there is a specific time frame volcanoes are suppose to adhere to? I'm pretty sure I read the last eruption was something like 630k years ago. Ya...50000 years ago you could say it was past due also. It's just silly stuff. Silly I tell you!
What about the helium 3 and helium 4 levels that are known to rise before a eruption? And what about the 10 inch ground level rise a couple months ago? And there happens to be USGS geologist that is communicating these concerns and he is stationed there!
Fear and paranoia are the main sources of stupidity in this world. This event just proves it one more time.
Who paid this park official off ?
It wouldn't take much to buy a park official. They only make $35K a year.
That's sad , but I am sure they enjoy the scenery !
HEINRICXVI probably one of the main reasons why so many Americans are fat. Humans were meant to be outside and physically active....running and hunting animals, climbing trees foraging for food, staying relatively lean.
I agree ! That why America has the highest rate of heart disease in the world !
I sure wish this was captioned so I could share it with my Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends who are very concerned about the rumors being spread. I'm sure Chief Nash is working from a script, why not add the transcription to your videotapes to make them more accessible? Thanks.
The video is captioned: you just need to activate the captions by clicking the "CC" button on the video player. Let us know if you continue to have trouble.
My apologies; my Deaf friend did say that he saw the captions, after I commented. I am using Safari as my browser and the CC icon does not appear for me on your videos, though it does on others. Thanks so much!
Herbivores can't eat plants from the same place for an extended period without experiencing the defense measures of the plants (i.e. extremely high tannin levels or the reduction of nutrients in the leafs). That's why herbivores (and the carnivores that eats them) are nomads.
When they say do not worry, that means worry.
Are you still worrying?
It really doesn't matter. When it blows there's nothing we can do about it.
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo run for their lives
And the skies are cloudy with volcanic ash all day
run like hell
I think the key points here are that "most of them are so small nobody ever feels them", and the fact that you've recently had a fucking 4.9! Something is changing, yeah?
It could be that or it could be just coincidental! I did think about the same thing you did, but there is also the coincidence possibility.
4.9 is nothing lmao its a hickup.........
CrystalTanaka4 well, my point isn't that you felt it or not... humans are NOT a good source of data. The machines haven't measured anything of size for 30 years, and recently they did. So you feeling it or not feeling it, is irrelevant to the data.
But it is not conclusive either!
4.9 honestly isn't that much mann.To quote the Richter Scale's wiki article: "Noticeable shaking of indoor objects and rattling noises. Felt by most people in the affected area. Slightly felt outside. Generally causes none to minimal damage. Moderate to significant damage very unlikely. Some objects may fall off shelves or be knocked over."
It's only when we start hitting the 6-6.9 end that damage starts to set in, and a supervolcano like the Yellowstone Caldera would be sending out at least that if it was on the verge of eruption.
I always find it amusing when some official says, "We have seen no evidence that..." Obviously, you won't see any evidence if your eyes are closed. An interesting point about this video is the eery similarity in the voice intonation patterns of this park ranger and the voice patterns of NASA's David Morrison in his Nibiru-debunking video. I think that they must have been coached by the same acting coach.
Lol. I mean, there's conspiracies. There's conspiracy theorists, and then there's just fucking whack jobs. You fall under that last one.
Christopher Hunt
You speak as though conspiracy theorists are to be automatically dismissed. Do you even know what the word "conspiracy" means? Have you ever investigated the evidence gathered by a single "conspiracy theorist"?
REJECTION WITHOUT INVESTIGATION IS THE HEIGHT OF IGNORANCE.
You, sir, are ignorant.
dooglitas Well considering the multitudes of Nibiru predictions that have time and time again failed to happen, the fact remains that this planet-x doesn't exist and isn't headed toward us. So every shred of "evidence" dealing with Nibiru was false and at best ignorant speculation.
Like-wise, following your logic that the Voice tone matches between David Morrison and this Park Ranger, it is a safe bet that the Ranger is being far more honest about this than you are. You can fact check what the ranger has said here and discover that indeed animals migrate in and out around this time each year, that earthquake activity is normal and ground swelling is not increasing more than was expected.
Now fact check the conspiracy, earthquakes have not increased beyond predicted rates, animals are not fleeing but are returning to the same areas that they would normally move to this time of year, Helium 4 only indicates that the hotspot has drifted over very old stone where it would be stored and has little to do with eruption times not to mention is happened in February and Helium 4 is not the majority of Helium being released, rather it is still Helium 3 and those levels are not rising any faster than normal.
But you're wrong about another thing, Rejection without investigation isn't ignorant, assertion without investigation is the height of ignorance! Rejection without investigation of assertions made in ignorance is the height of intelligence!
You're the pot calling the kettle black!
Adam Ihnken You're wrong about my statement about rejection without investigation. It is certainly ignorant to reject something without investigating the claims. Yes, assertion without investigation is also ignorant. They are both ignorant.
First, I am not saying that Yellowstone is going to blow. I am just saying that I don't believe that we are being told the truth. It is a fact that the USGS has been obscuring the number of earthquakes occurring there. Also, no one has ever witnessed a supervolcano eruption. Honest geologists admit that they don't really know precisely what signs would precede an eruption.
Yes, animals do migrate. Of course, I realize that. However, in the video they show clips of animals in deep snow migrating. The videos posted on RUclips show animals running who are not in deep snow. It is currently the beginning of spring. The animals should have already migrated many weeks ago. If they are migrating now, it should be back into the park, not away from it. People in the area have reported that the behavior of the animals is not normal behavior. This is a subject of enormous importance. Dismissing it lightly is foolishness. There are geologists who are very concerned about the Yellowstone volcano. They are not the once who get interviewed by the mainstream media.
Regarding Nibiru (planet X/Hercolobus/heavy mass object/brown dwarf), the fact some predictions by individuals have not panned out is not proof that Nibiru is not there. There is a great deal of evidence that some cosmic object is out there affecting the earth, the sun, and all the planets of the solar system. There is historical evidence that such a body exists and that it has caused cataclysmic upheavals on earth at regular intervals. There is historical evidence that this body was discovered by scientists and that this discovery was later covered up. There is also a long, growing list of astronomers who have dealt with this issue who have met strange, untimely deaths. It is obvious that you have not really investigated the "Nibiru" issue very deeply.
We are not living in "normal" times. Something very big is about to happen politically, economically, and geologically. You can play ostrich with your head in the sand while the train comes barreling down on you if you like. To each his own.
Adam Ihnken i dont believe in niburu or that krap but they have dicovered a planetoid out past pluto and there is evidence that there may be a large object out further that influences the planetoids and asteroids out there its very interesting indeed
There may be a whole lotta shakin' going on in Y-Stone but that's in fact normal and anyone who knows anything about the park knows that's been well publicized and common knowledge for many many years.
The paranoid comments being made here sound petty, juvenile, and silly. If the Park Service refused to officially deny these playground rumors the same people would scream the official silence indicates a coverup of danger.
There are legitimate threats to our safety and well being about which we should be concerned. It just so happens that our first national park is not one of them.
Thank you for an intelligent and reasonable reply.
One day I will be the Al Nash.
They sure seemed to miss the mark when Mount Saint Helen's erupted. Oh yeah they are such experts who know what they are talking about but they have never been able to warn a single place before a volcano was ready to erupt. Opps lets not consider reality here. name one single volcano that anyone has ever been warned about in time.
Mt. St. Helens
Actually, Mt Saint Helen's eruption was totally prepared for, and the mountain had been evacuated almost 100%. A little reading before commenting would probably go a long way for you.
I thought elk sheep deer moose all came down the mountain in winter, that is what is in wildlife doccumentaries,not at the beggining of spring, they begin to migrate back in spring?
March 31 is not spring in our northernmost states at elevations of 5,500 ft to over 11,000 ft. like Yellowstone is. And btw, moose more often go up in elevation in winter.
If it erupts, it erupts. There is nothing we can do about unpredictable things.
Hahaha! Just take a look - in your footage with migrating bisons they just walk. What we saw recently? They RUN away really fast (for them). Also you talk about winter... Winter begins in the end of march now?
What about other major earthquakes in recent time? What about 1000x more Helium 4 release than before? What about rasing temperatures in caldera? Why USGS deletes info about earthquakes from their site? I don't trust you much, guy...
Calm down. Have a pint.
Beer with vulcano dust... Not very tasty)
Anri Orlow
Volcano dust? They have a scientific term for it, it's called ASH. That being said, you are a moron. Give me one link that shows major earthquakes recently or 1000x Helium 4. I live an hour and a half from Yellowstone, I would think we would have known about MAJOR earthquakes recently. Keep drinking the kool-aid Anri. KCCO...
Rob Peterson
If I'm speaking English not perfectly, (because it's not my native language) it does not give you a right to call me a "moron". Please, be more courteous, especially when you are a representative of your country in eyes of foreign citezen. Thanks
Bottom line Anri Sit down, shut up, and hold tight. At 17,000 + MPH I do believe the earth and science of Earth just passed you by!
I wonder if the Federal Reserve will use the same writers when telling us the dollar is fine when they make their announcement.
Look up RUclips vids of Yellowstone Park as far back as 2007 and you'll see Bison walking and running on the road; some even slam onto cars on the road. They own the park...they'll walk anywhere they want to and if you don't like it, they'll slam onto your car too! Bottom line, there is nothing different about animal behavior today then it was five or six years ago.
what about the helium 4 ?
In the words of Jake Lowenstern, lead scientist at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and author of a recent article on helium (published in the journal Nature) that's caused some confusion:
"Nothing in the paper implies any increased volcanic hazard at Yellowstone.

YellowstoneNPS whatever you say Mr ranger but the buffalo fleeing is all over the news today and the articles say there are other animals fleeing at an alarming rate. would you mind if i send Darrel Issa there to clarify things for us.
The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory published an article addressing recent concerns on April 2nd: volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/.
@@palestone3 The Bison were never fleeing, nor were any other animals. Where do you find the nonsense that you form your beliefs around?
@@palestone3 that is just the seasonal migratory behaviour of bison. Since the herd has reached the thousands they have established several migration paths all across the northern portions of Yellowstone that extend outside the park’s borders.
Ahh... The animals DO migrate, but they don't generally Run to migrate. And I remember hearing more bison have gone missing more than other years.
Where do you here anything about "missing bison"? I've lived in Yellowstone for 16 years, and "missing bison" is not a thing
Do you realize how stupid you sound after picking on ONE Comment (out of 470+ comments) SEVEN freakin years AFTER the comment was made?
Go away Troll
@@CutlassChic500 Well, I picked yours for the absolute ignorance. And the time that has passed since you aired your ignorance has given the facts enough time to settle. I'm still curious where you were finding such terrible information. You lie to people and get called out, and I'm the troll. Got it, genius.
@@CutlassChic500 Do you realize how stupid you sound, period?
It's already warming up the animals should have left long a go for winter. Not to mention all the other animals, of which have different migrating patterns, are leaving about the same time. Now add the 4.8 earthquake I say start packing.
Third coldest winter on record won't warm up at the same rate. Also Yellowstone is a fucking volcano, they have had earthquakes since we started measuring there.
Hope people will move on now that this was settled.
lol... Weather it will or won't I don't think anyone really knows....If it does, no one can stop it.... This could also be spin control... I'm within the 500 mile radious, so if it blows, I guess it's, see ya'll in the next life...
those bison were not walking to greener pastures. they were "RUNNING"!!!
Yeah.. bison run
Yeah. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. "It's just a bunny."
Okay, he says, "They go down to warm up" because "it's the depth of winter right now." LOLOL! Okay, ass. Show us the footage of them walking back INTO the park.
Why is the USGS hiding data?
19.5 deg. on any active planet (c/w magnetic field) is the most active dimensional hotspot. On Jupiter it is the Great Red Spot. Hawaii is the 19.5 deg spot, from which balanced pressure/heat/magma, etc. is released. If a massive rogue planet or star came into the solar system, etc.; then, things would heat up beyond the heat-sink capacity of the earth/moon system. Thousands of underwater volcanoes have potential for Supervolcano status. It appears the Earth is 'tuned' for longevity.
Legit response. The original video was obviously phony and those of us who live near the park recognized that fact immediately.
En réalité, cette vidéo a été publiée deux semaines avant le fort séisme : elle date du 14 mars, sur la page Facebook de Leo Leckie, l'un des dirigeants de l'ONG Yellowstone Association, partenaire du parc national, qui l'assortit du commentaire : « Les bisons du Yellowstone galopent joyeusement, fêtant le printemps qui arrive. » La vidéo se voit alors détournée, et publiée de nouveau sur RUclips, le 20 mars, mais cette fois sous le titre «Alerte ! Les bisons de Yellowstone fuient pour sauver leur vie».
« Ces bisons couraient pour le plaisir de courir, rectifie Leo Leckie dans une interview au Los Angeles Times. Rien ne les poursuivaient ; il n'y avait pas de glissement de terrain. Ils couraient tout simplement. »
« C'était une journée printanière et ils étaient fougueux. C'est un phénomène qui arrive souvent, ce n'était pas la fin du monde », confirme à Reuters Amy Bartlett, l'une des porte-parole du parc. L'instinct supposé des animaux qui leur permettrait de prévoir les catastrophes naturelles et notamment les séismes est loin d'avoir été démontré par les scientifiques.
Surtout, dans cette scène, les bovidés ne fuient pas Yellowstone mais galopent au contraire vers l'intérieur du parc. « Il peut arriver que des bisons, des wapitis ou d'autres animaux se déplacent à l'extérieur du parc, mais ils le font parce que la nourriture est un peu difficile à trouver à l'intérieur de Yellowstone au cœur de l'hiver », explique Al Nash, le responsable des affaires publiques du parc Yellowstone, dans une vidéo qui vise à «débunker» la rumeur.

Ah people are just being aware. At least people do know of the volcano is factor and that things are gonna happen to be real bad one day. I just hope that people plan and prepare for anything.
is it the depth of winter? March 31? I want to believe!
The snow depths do get pretty high on some winters.
LOL He'll be the first to go....
Thanks for the clarification YellowstoneNPS Besides the "oh ma gerd conspiracy" commentaries out there, this is actually a pretty informative video on the #geological formation that makes for a great national treasure. #nationalpark
Response to the NPS downplaying earthquake potential ... :) lol ... When they tell you not to panic, that's when you run
agreed no eruption... but a large EQ ... that's a real possibility.
He said that animals in winter go to lower places to eat. Then tell me what is all that green stuff on the ground and some green bush type plants that you can see at the ACTUAL BISON FUTAGE???!!!
Remember how the movie 2012 showed Yellowstone getting ready to blow, while the govt. downplayed it completely? Hmmm.
Remember how 2012 was two years ago...yeah that was nice, what's your point?
Remember the whole Mayan end of world thing in 2012 too? Take your meds.
remember how that was a stupid MOVIE?
When Yellowstone erupts, I'm going to be sitting there remembering all the youtube comments doubting it, thinking... I told you so. :)
I'll come back in 10 years - 20 years, and when Yellowstone still hasn't erupted, I'm going to be sitting here remembering all the youtube comments saying it would erupt soon, thinking... I told you it wouldn't :)
hmmm It's been 5 years. I think I should be the one saying I told you so.
When Yellowstone erupts, if humans are even inhabiting the planet at that point, I don't thing that will be your thought. You'll either be dead, or wishing you were. If you're in the US, prepare for feet of ash covering the ground making it impossible to grow food to feed the folks that didn't die. Living in another country or continent? Prepare for decades without sunlight as ash completely fills our atmosphere stopping plant growth in areas that weren't covered in ash. I have a feeling that your, oh so clever "I told you so" will feel uninformed and ignorant.
hmm
He says it's common for the beasts to move. Well, he's right, but the video he shows IS in the dead of winter when also the Bison would naturally move slower.
Mr. Yellowstone the video's I've seen with the beasts running in some direction, presumably 'out of town', occurred recently and with no snow.

Actually, the bison clips in this video were shot on Friday, March 28th (just a few days before we posted this).
YellowstoneNPS
I see. So like anywhere else, the elevation and location are in question then.
Not to mention that, "In the dead of winter" are his words as he refers to your video. I guess March 28 could be considered the dead of winter in some perspective. But I've been in Yellowstone at various times of the year, including March, as I once lived for 4 years in Bozeman Mt. So I'm telling you that my experience there coupled with this mans narrative to your video, is a disingenuous representation of the facts. That said, may I ask then, with all of the behavior we see today from virtually every aspect of government, how would we know whether you as a governmental representative are not being equally disingenuous with any news that would matter most to the public? Because in truth, the so called 'ring of fire' has never in recorded time (with the records I've witnessed) been as active as it is currently. And please don't try to tell anyone that the Ring of Fire has nothing to do with Yellowstone.
An old saying goes, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
In other words, people such as yourself, in offices such as yours, are being discovered to be no more than agents of disinformation and frankly I only see your posting as a sort of would be damage control.
YellowstoneNPS
I know. My harshness really shouldn't be taken on a personal level. More to the point is this imbalance is causing reaction from the people. Always has really, and it should be clear why. People always react to oppression. The more reaction, the more oppression. Please stop.
Jesus, thank you for sending the miracle of Love to Yellowstone Park.
YOU BETTER RUN
Congrats... You are now ready to serve a term in the Oval Office!!!
I can't believe people are so stupid that they believe animals would know that an impending apocalypse is coming. If they did, they would be running in fear, not walking out! When this happens, it will block out the sun, and be the end of the life on the planet. I am tempted to set up camp right on top of the volcano. If the world is due to disappear, I want to go with the first ugly bang! Not left to suffer behind.
I'm with you! Let me come with lol.
It is scientific fact that many animals can predict earthquakes and volcano eruptions, you appear to be the only one that doesn't know this.
Devine Yes, and they appear agitated and stressed. They are not casually cruising. You need to watch the documentary on Netflix about Yellowstone Park. It covers how the bison leave every year in search for food, as do a whole bunch of other species, and they return later on. You appear to be the only one that doesn't know this.
"I can't believe people are so stupid that they believe animals would know that an impending apocalypse is coming." I was merely commenting that this statement is wrong, and that animals likely would have foreknowledge of an apocalyptic earthquake or volcano.
Devine Although animals may sense an impending earthquake or thunderstorm, or tornado, or any natural anomaly, they would not know any as an 'apocalyptic' one. If they did - they would show more fear and be running like hell. That area had an earthquake recently, but it is not the first, and won't be the last. California gets them too, and animals that migrate for food there are not doing that because of the earthquakes. The manner in which they are leaving Yellowstone is not only calm and slow, most importantly it is the same routine they do every year for hundreds of years now, and at the same time of year to boot! That was my point. You cannot use this "routine" behavior as a basis to form an argument that the apocalyptic volcano day in Yellowstone must now be upon us. The argument is full of holes, and therefore weak.
love how he says they're leaving because they're trying to find food..and when winter is over they'll be "walking back to the park"... well they're running away from it now....RUNNING
Even if it was going to erupt and they knew it they still would not tell you!!!
...4.8 Magnitude?
POP POP!
He said the animals will WALK back into the park so why did they run away!
If it's totally safe how about you move your entire family there and prove it.
There ARE people who live inside of Yellowstone and I live very close to it.
Troller
Troller.
Yeah, I'm a troller. Lol. You caught me. Idiots.
Jer Lemieux well KID...I live in the kill zone. SO, why don't you take your puissant uneducated self and sod off.
Here is for the alerts of Yellowstone Hazards
volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/
ok now... its spring now and i believe the snow is gone.... are the bisons back??? pls do reply YellowstoneNPS
look up www.Rawstory.com the roads have now melted and the park is closed due to hot lava.
dancenstar
I live 20 minutes outside of the park's north gate, the park's not closed, a road in the park is closed, the bison never left, they can't leave, there's a fence keeping them in the park area because of a disease called brucellosis that ranchers fear will spread to their livestock, read what you want... I live here and see thousands of cars and asian tour buses everyday. If they're not going to the park then where are they going?
***** Ok... i dont mean to criticize u my friend... but i see a lot of bisons and other animals running amock... can u pls explain tht to me?? again, i am not criticising u... i am just curious and want to know the truth
***** and... can u also explain to me why the road is melting pls?
what animals do you see running amok? Fences keep the bison in and the elk went back up into the mountains in May when the snow lifted enough for them to graze, so I'm not sure what other animals you mean. As for the roads, if you've ever been to Yellowstone you'll see that it's a very wet place, water under the surface of everything around here get's heated by everything shifting around us constantly, same with the water, and if you've ever been outside in the middle of the summer when the sun is beating down hard you'd know that road's get soft pretty easy. So if you put a road over hot water it's gonna melt, it's that easy. It happens around the park all the time, and it's because of the thermal features we live around that we get to swim in the middle of winter when it's -20. If the park was closed all our friends who work there for the concessions company wouldn't be working 12 hours shifts to keep up with the demand of tourists. If you step back and look at what's going on, it's really pretty simple to understand. If there was actual problems in the park, I'd feel them, see them with my own eyes, smell it in the air... none of that's going on right now. It's actually been cooler outside and have had a longer rainy season which has kept the fires down so far this year.
It's spring, not winter
Maybe where YOU are. Not here, though.
Maybe the third coldest winter on record in the US lingers a bit?
...aaannd then it haaaapened ! ! !
Sounds like a bigger load of crap than the bison left behind.
Volcano goes off...YellowstoneNPS quickly removes this video
Wake up!!!##
I GUESS THE HELIUM 4 releasing, is also normal even though its 1000 times more than usual. wonder what he gets paid to lie to humanity. little does he know hes not getting paid, but paying HIS SOUL.
Care to back that up with some hard evidence? A link to the site of the scientists measuring gas release would be sufficient. Otherwise, jog on.
Morgan Jones Indeed, I have to wonder what it's like going through life as some disaffected conspiracy theorist convinced that everyone is lying.
*****
Here comes the dumb (doot-n-doo doo)
Here comes the dumb
It's all right
There actually are reports of more helium being released but that is a good thing! That means the internal pressure of the magma chamber is going down!
Brandon Jacobsen
You mean the conspiracy theorist trying to scare everyone into thinking this is bad, is actually good? SHOCKER!
If anyone was ever reading a script, that was it.
Correct. He prepared his talk and presented it. That some serious detective work.
Yes when animals leave to go to lower ground they walk. Mosey on their way down. Not run at high speeds like their scared. Come on man.
When Yellowstone erupts, and eventually it will, no one will really know until it does.
Not true. There are plenty of signs that will indicate an eruption could be coming. As for your certainty of future eruption, the former head of geology for Yellowstone Nat. Park refuses to say that he sees a future eruption as imminent. I'm following him.
OH MY GOD I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Better to be safe than sorry. I'd rather be gone and it not happen then be there and it happen. Lucky for me i'm in Ohio.
Don't speak so soon. Ohio is not going to be a good place to live after a Yellowstone eruption.
If there are several shallow quakes that are real close to the surface. Thats when you need to get worried. There are underwater volcanoes in the pacific and atlantic that make Caldera look like a zit on a fly's ass. The Ocean ones are end of life deals.
Dear ameriKans ! welKAm to Siberia ! Siberia will live in you.
Has anyone seen my bag of cheetos?
You cant escape from fate. An example is the fate of the race car driver Schumacher
this guy ia a standup comedian
Lol this made me laugh, wake up please
yes, the Bison say al nash is not being honest
I like this guy.
I trust the animals
Trust them for what?
