The network of boardwalks and trails at Yellowstone National Park makes it easy to get around, so it's no surprise that the local wildlife often use them to move from A to B, but it's still important to give the animals sufficient space. Unfortunately several visitors have been recorded recently following the animals along the paths, and approaching them for photos.
Several incidents were caught on camera by The Traveling Munkees, who compiled them into a single video. Although many people in the clip (which you can watch below) took a sensible approach, warning others of an approaching bison and doubling back to give it room, others can be seen tailing the animal and even trying to pose with it. Many hikers have young children with them, and things could easily have gone sideways if the animal felt threatened or crowded.
