Usually when we talk about Yellowstone Park and bison, it's because a tourist did something silly and the bison retaliate.

A bison somehow wandered out onto the Grand Prismatic Spring in front of dozens of tourists. The tourists watched in horror as the bison desperately tried to escape the horrible fate. He ended up dying in the spring. Eventually the bison will literally boil down to a skeleton.
After The Horror Comes The Lesson Of This Event In Yellowstone Park
The hot springs in Yellowstone National Park are just that, hot. Not just hot, hot hot. Hotty McHotterson hot.
What happened to this bison, has actually happened to tourists in Yellowstone. I honestly don't know if the tourons think , "It won't happen to me" or if they think it's some kind of forest Disney Land, but, It WILL happen to you. It's the FAFO rule.
Here is a video from Tourons of Yellowstone that we're all too familiar with in Montana:
This genius, who has knowledge of the dangers of Yellowstone, is playing FAFO Yellowstone edition.
In closing, the bison made a fatal mistake. The bison didn't die making a TikTok video or shooting a dramatic selfie for followers. The bison died the way so many animals and people die in Yellowstone: Painfully and perfectly according to nature's rules.
