You might think that 'don't pet the wildlife' should go without saying at National Parks, but some visitors clearly need reminding because a woman has been spotted at the Grand Canyon doing exactly that.
The visitor was seen approaching one of the many elk that graze on the canyon's south rim, feeding on grasses and shrubs. A video of the incident, shared via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks this week, shows that the animal is likely habituated to such behavior after many similar close encounters, and fails to react.
