Clueless Yellowstone tourists use giant bison as a photo prop

Bison beside river at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA

A pair of tourists have been caught on camera at Yellowstone National Park using one of the native bison as a prop in a photo shoot. There have been several incidents over the last few days where Yellowstone visitors have endangered themselves straying too close to bison, but this one was particularly risky as one of the pair posed with their back to the huge animal, leaving them unable to observe its behavior and move if it began to charge.

The incident was captured by park visitor David Spady earlier this week and shared on Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, which highlights bad behavior at US National Parks (often involving wildlife).
