A man visiting Yellowstone National Park decided to sneak around a corner to get a closer look at one of the park's bison, while carrying his young child in his arms. The incident was caught on camera by a shocked park visitor, curiouszz.george, who shared a video of the pair on Instagram.
The National Park Service (NPS) warns people to always stay at least 25 yards (23 meters) from bison when hiking in the park, and that's particularly true during late summer and early fall, which is the animals' mating season. During this period, known as the rut, males can be particularly unpredictable and more prone to aggression than usual.
