Videos of bison seemingly fleeing Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming have sparked concerns among some bloggers that recent seismic activity could trigger the eruption of the park's so-called supervolcano.
According to
Epoch Times, multiple videos of such incidents have been posted online recently, one of which shows a herd of buffalo allegedly leaving the park and "running for their lives." Although people behind the discussion acknowledge there's no way to predict when the park's massive volcano could erupt, they believe the reaction of the Yellowstone's animals could signal some kind of alert.
On March 30, Yellowstone was struck by the most powerful earthquake it has experienced since 1980 - a 4.8 magnitude quake that did no damage, but that some believe could be connected to the various animals' movements.
"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
," said blogger Jay Lee, according to the
Times.
"But I'll tell you this, whatever the case may be, that their running away from Yellowstone is an alert of some sort."
