A woman was nearly trampled at Grand Canyon National Park recently after getting too close to one of the local elk in an attempt to get the perfect photo. The elk had wandered close to a storefront, but rather than move away and give the animal room, a crowd of people gathered to take pictures as close as possible.
In a video shared via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks last week, which you can see below, the elk remains calm at first, but is startled and jumps back when one person brings their dog up for a closer look.
