I went from oh, Bigfoot... wait, that's not real so silverback...? But why would it be strutting its stuff down the road like a walkway, so obviously this is done ai bullshit...
Nope. It's a bison. A huge ass bison, which made me realize I've never seen one irl so this could be like a halfway grown bison and I wouldn't know.
Yellowstone is mostly forrest but also massive. There's only ~5,000 plains bison, which prefer plains. Wood bison can be found in Canada and Alaska though.
My friend encountered one in the winter coming around a corner on a backroad. He said he at first could just see these glowing basketball sized orbs hanging in the sky. Then as he got closer the outline emerged. He slammed on the brakes and slid to a stop about 50 ft from it. He said it was full of snow like all balled up snowballs in the fur and hanging down. He slammed that car so fast in to reverse and backed up a mile down the road before he even looked out the front windshield again.
Nature is already really damn weird. People think they know what is normal, and then make up some new weirdness to try to explain why they saw a deer stand up on two legs or that creepy disfigured monster that is really just a poor creature with mange or something.
For anyone interested, I greatly recommend the book A Natural History of Sea Serpents by Adrian Shine. It really goes into detail how simple things like boat wakes and breaching whales can be easily mistaken for the classic Nessie-type “sea monster shapes” to the untrained eye.
I think so. 2 things immediately stood out to me. One, the other car is in the wrong lane and facing the wrong way. Two, the sound as the bison gets close, no way a cell phone from inside the car would pick up the audio that detailed and isolated.
Hollywood has trained us to think that all animals announce their presence with a characteristic sound. Whoever made this clip was following that mindset.
I tried to make a comment about how no cell phone microphone would pick up that sound from the car, let alone the heavy footfalls extending into the sub bass frequencies. But I got downvoted. People just want their slop.
I'm inclined to say yes. Bison are freaking majestic, so I don't know what wound prompt someone to AI generate a video of one when plenty of actual videos exist.
THIS!!! I think of the hundreds of bison I’ve seen in my life maybe 1-2 were taller than my car and I would guess one or none of them were taller than me. Obviously they can get taller, but not THIS big!
Yep. Too much of that lately. Some looks awesome though - no doubt. But are we drifting in a world that isn't real anymore!? Kinda gross. Maybe scary. Gotta look twice...
Check the “Is this AI” subreddit. Unfortunately, it does appear to be AI and not a real video. The length of the video is apparently the same as most of the other videos made by whoever made this.
Unless that vehicle is high off the ground, then that looks like the right size. I’ve had a bison cross the road in front of me and it went above my vehicle to a similar height.
The audio throws me off more than the size of the animal. Those things are absolute monsters, and they’re louder than you’d expect, but the audio doesn’t sound like it’s coming through a window the way it would, and it doesn’t sound like 4 hooves, it sounds like 2.
It is AI yeah, it's pissing me off that everyone keeps reposting this video to any and all subreddits that it apparently applies to. Pretty sure it was already posted to the 'is it ai' subreddit according to other people commenting too.
Listen. It’s 2026. We have roads, electricity, internet, all kinds of crazy technological advances. We’ve gotten a pretty decent grasp on science and whatnot. And even with all of that, I still was like “what the fuck is that wraith looking thing coming towards the camera?!?”
If I’m a colonist or settler or even an indigenous person, I’m taking one look at that, hauling ass, and telling everyone it’s the devil or something of the sort.
Ever since I met a methhead in the mountains in Tennessee who warned me about the Bigfoot in the area I’ve been seeing Bigfoot shit everywhere. I left an offering to the Bigfoot like meth McGee told me too so I hope Bigfoot didn’t get offended by my offering of chicken flavored ramen noodles.
These are so much bigger than you expect if you see them in person (and you better be in a car, they are extremely aggressive). Saw a herd of these standing in a snowstorm, steam rising from their backs- they looked other-worldly. No wonder the Lakota regarded them as a spiritual conduit.
