Well that’s embarrassing. Bison are the largest mammals in North America, weighing up to 2,000 lbs and standing nearly 6 feet tall. And while they’re obviously dangerous creatures, most of the time they aren’t aggressive unless they feel threatened.

One of the hallmarks of national parks in the Southwest are the stunning natural arches that punctuate the landscape. There’s a reason that one of Utah’s national parks is known as Arches National Park, for instance. But these gravity-defying features are subject to the same wear and tear as the rest of the landscape around them — and sometimes, the same arches that once soared over the rest of the landscape can come crashing down to earth.
