A Minnesotan man was arrested Thursday night after getting caught on video earlier this week “harassing a bison” in Yellowstone National Park, officials announced.
Luke Sorum, 28, who was journeying across multiple U.S. parks throughout the week, was taken into custody by Glacier National Park officials, a news release from Yellowstone officials said.
“We appreciate the collaboration of our fellow rangers in Glacier and Grand Teton national parks on this arrest. Harassing wildlife is illegal in any national park,” Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Dan Wenk said.
On July 31, Sorum made his way to Yellowstone where rangers pulled him over and found that he “appeared to be intoxicated and argumentative,” officials said. It was after this encounter, in which Sorum was given a citation, that officials said they believe the bison confrontation occurred.
An onlooker captured the moment on video, seemingly showing Sorum approach a bison in the middle of the road. The animal initially walked away from him as he approached. But soon after, the bison turned around and ran toward Sorum, who skittered away. The animal soon retreated in the opposite direction.
“Yellowstone rangers received several wildlife harassment reports from concerned visitors and found Sorum later that evening, issuing a citation requiring a court appearance,” the news release said. “The video of the event surfaced after that citation had been issued.
“On Thursday, August 2, Yellowstone rangers connected Sorum’s extensive history, and seeing the egregious nature of the wildlife violation, the Assistant U.S. Attorney requested his bond be revoked. The request was granted and on the night of August 2, a warrant was issued for Sorum’s arrest,” the release continued.
Sorum has since been booked into Yellowstone Jail.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
