Bison Involved in Fatal Custer State Park Attack Will Be Relocated, Not Euthanized
A bull bison involved in the death of a 70-year-old Canadian tourist at Custer State Park will be moved to the care of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Game, Fish and Parks Department instead of being euthanized. Officials said the relocation keeps the animal away from public areas while respecting its wild nature. The case has renewed warnings for park visitors: bison may look calm, but they can react suddenly when people get too close. Hikers and drivers are being urged to keep their distance, stay in vehicles when possible, and never approach bison for photos.
Battle Born Battery Lawsuit Draws New Scrutiny Over Changed Charging Specs
The lawsuit between Dragonfly Energy, Battle Born’s parent company, and YouTuber Will Prowse is getting fresh attention after right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann pointed to archived battery documents. An older data sheet for Battle Born’s BB1275 battery listed a 50A maximum charge current, while the current version lists 37.5A for the same model. That difference is drawing interest because Dragonfly has accused Prowse of testing batteries outside published specifications. The documents do not explain why the number changed, and the court has not ruled on the claims.
Three Hikers Die in Grand Canyon Heat Incidents as Park Warns Against Midday Inner Canyon Hiking
Three hikers died in Grand Canyon National Park after two separate heat-related incidents on Inner Canyon trails, according to the National Park Service. The deaths happened on June 12 and June 16 on the South Kaibab and North Kaibab trails as temperatures in the Inner Canyon reached dangerous levels. The park is urging visitors to stay off Inner Canyon trails from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when heat can become life-threatening. Officials also warn that rescue may be delayed, so hikers need to plan carefully, carry enough supplies, and turn back before heat or fatigue becomes dangerous.
Semi Carrying Bees Overturns in Yellowstone, Scattering Hives Along Highway 191
A semitruck hauling crates of bees tipped over inside Yellowstone National Park, spilling hives along Highway 191 near the park’s western edge. No injuries were reported, but crews faced a complicated cleanup as bees swarmed the area and damaged hives covered parts of the road. Yellowstone staff, local responders, transportation officials, agriculture officials, and the hive owners worked to salvage as many bees as possible. The exact number of bees has not been confirmed, though estimates suggest the truck may have been carrying millions.
AAA Predicts Record July 4th Travel, With Most Americans Hitting the Road
AAA expects 72.2 million Americans to travel at least 50 miles from home during the Independence Day travel period from June 27 through July 5. About 61.4 million are expected to travel by car, making roads, fuel stops, campgrounds, tourist towns, and park entrances busier than usual. RVers may see more congestion, longer check-in lines, crowded dump stations, and fewer last-minute campsite options. AAA also expects rental cars, airports, buses, trains, and cruises to be busy, but road travel remains the main choice for holiday travelers.
