At least 12 visitors have been caught crowding around a black bear cub to take photos at Yellowstone National Park, ignoring advice not to approach wildlife for their own safety, and that of the animals. In a video shared on infamous Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, people can be seen milling around the small animal, with some turning their backs to take selfies, despite the fact that its mother might be nearby.
The account, which posted the video this week, calls out examples of bad behavior at sites of natural beauty throughout the US. Other incidents have included a man jumping out at bears while making gorilla noises, a woman trying to pet a bison while taking selfies, and a man dabbling his fingers in a thermal pool.
