A man visiting Yellowstone National Park got the fright of his life after getting too close to a lone bison. In a video, which you can watch below, the tourist can be seen approaching the grazing bison from behind. When he is within a few feet, the animal notices him and lashes out with a charge that he only narrowly dodges.
The incident was captured on camera by fellow park visitor Sean Swetter and shared on Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone. The account highlights examples of bad behavior at US National Parks and other sites of natural beauty, including people dipping their hands in hot springs, chasing bears, and trying to pet elk.
