When Seattle veterinarian technician Matthew Schneider wanted to cheer up his lifelong friend Laura this week, he chose a drive through Olympic Game Park in Washington to enjoy the wildlife.
What could possibly go wrong?
Plenty, and hilariously so. As Laura slowly drives in the park and films him, Matthew is suddenly awash in massive tongues and Buffalo fur as the animals reach their heads inside the car for the park-approved slices of bread Matthew feeds them. His squeals of horror and delight have to be seen to be believed.
We’re not exactly sure what a sugar glider is, but we imagine they are in good hands with Matthew, who is single and not opposed to some lightly work-unfriendly images of himself on his very entertaining Instagram page. He sounds like perfect husband material for the man who likes his animal lovers sweet and sexy.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But please don’t try Matthew’s Buffalo antics at home – or at least, not in the wild. “When buffalo are hand raised on a farm they are as tame as cattle,” Matthew instructed us, “but wild buffalo are not to be approached under any circumstances.”
We’ll keep that in mind.
We certainly don’t blame the Buffalo for his interest.

Reminds me of Nathan Lane in the Birdcage.

Well, that dried me up

Well I thought he was cute and like him!

Because how dare he have a gay accent?

He’s super cute and would probably be lots of fun to hang out with.

That’s not a “buffalo” that’s an American Bison, and yes it’s a huge difference. As a Native American it bugs me when “Americans” can’t refer to this majestic animal by its correct name, it’s not even related to the buffalo.

Google is your friend my friend..

The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo or simply buffalo

Damon is right. Chris, did you even read the article you posted? Bison and buffalo are different species of mammals. Here in the USA, there are only bison. Even in the town of Buffalo, NY, there are no buffalo. There never were any. (And a “common” mistake doesn’t make something real. It’s still a mistake.)
ChrisK
The name “buffalo” is listed in many dictionaries as an acceptable name for American buffalo or bison.

@damon: The New World bird called a turkey has nothing to do with Turkey the country, so maybe you could try “correcting” that one too!

A sugar glider is a forest-dwelling Aussie marsupial, a bit like a flying squirrel but more closely related to kangaroos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_glider

Good grief some of y’all are just catty mean for no reason. You not f–king him so why does it matter if he has too much sugar in his tank for your taste?!! He seems like he’d always be fun to hang out with. Video had me cracking up.

Sugar in his tank??
Blackceo
I’m not sure if you don’t like that I used the phrase “sugar in the tank” or if you don’t know what the phrase means.

This happened to me in Yellowstone. Nice day, with the windows down on the rental car….I didn’t know they stick their heads in the window and a huge tongue bigger than my head comes at you. I realized that they were used to being fed. It was a slow day and I was the only car on that road. So I felt bad I had nothing to fed him or her. But it scared me silly.
Brian
Don’t feel bad! That was the right thing to do, and in the long run, it will protect that animal, the rest of its herd, the park, and future visitors!
Chris
Hilarious! Just don’t try this with real wild animals. What a great experience, though.
nitejonboy
He looks like a fun guy…but in that second pic it looks like he’s pissed his pants,LOL!!
