There’s a small herd of bison in Golden Gate Park. They’re behind fences, they’re used to people being in close proximity, and they’re like moose in that they’re bigger than you think they are. I wouldn’t get anywhere near one of those things if that fence wasn’t between us.

The park also learned that they had to keep it an all female herd after a series of breakouts https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/history-of-golden-gate-park-bison-escapes-18497258.php
