A thrilling sight for snow coach passengers in Yellowstone National Park is sharing the road with massive bison.

A viral video, credited to David Wall via Viral Hog, shows over a dozen bison charging at a snowcat and providing an exhilarating experience for the awestruck riders.

"Are they going to hit our car?" a tourist asks in the video.

A bison passes around the snowcoach but bumps into it slightly as it navigates its passage.

Yellowstone is home to around 5,000 bison and they often use roads as a convenient route during the winter, which means interactions with them aren't uncommon. Nevertheless, sightings with bison stampeding are quite rare.
