A tourist has been caught on camera harassing a black bear at Yellowstone National Park. The shirtless man was spotted running after the animal, grunting and posturing like a gorilla to scare it away. Bears are naturally wary of people and prefer to avoid close encounters. This particular animal was already making it way back into the woods when the man decided to show off by chasing it.
The incident was shared on aptly named Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, which documents bad behavior at US National Parks and other sites of natural beauty – often involving wildlife. Other recently posted videos have shown a man getting an antler through his car after taunting an elk, and a family using a bison as a photo prop.
