A group of diners at a restaurant in Yellowstone National Park had a shock when a bull elk charged at the terrace where several people were standing to photograph the animal. The video, shot during the elk rut in the fall, is part of a compilation shared this week by infamous Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone.
Several tourists had gathered close to the barrier surrounding the dining area, standing dangerously close to the animal. According to the Colorado Wildlife Council, elk can jump six vertical feet, and a low railing would pose little challenge if the animal made a real charge rather than a bluff.
