A man has been spotted approaching a bison and her calf at close range for photos at Yellowstone National Park, despite warnings from officials that cows are fiercely protective, and likely to lash out if they believe their young are threatened.
The tourist was spotted trying to hide behind a parked car while the two animals crossed a road, and was lucky to go unnoticed. According to the National Park Service, bison are responsible for more injuries at Yellowstone than any other animal, possibly due to their passing resemblance to domestic cattle.
