A group of visitors have been spotted posing for photos just a few feet from a herd of bison at snow-bound Yellowstone National Park, taking it in turns to snap pictures of one another with the animals by the park’s north entrance.
The tourists stopped for their photo session by the Roosevelt Arch, which stands some 50ft tall and is made from hundreds of tons of local basalt rock. It would normally be a spectacular photo spot, but in a video posted on Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone last week (which you can see below), the family totally ignores the towering landmark, preferring to use the bison as a backdrop. One woman can even be seen carrying a small child.
