A group of at least eight tourists have been caught on camera crowding around an exceptionally large bison as it grazed beside a boardwalk at Yellowstone National Park, seemingly oblivious to the danger. Although they generally prefer to avoid encounters with humans, bison are wild animals and can become aggressive if they feel threatened. In fact, the National Park Service (NPS) warns that bison cause more injuries than any other animal at Yellowstone, including bears and snakes.
This particular incident was captured by wildlife guide Marcus Schmidt and shared by Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, which calls out bad behavior at US National Parks and other sites of natural beauty.
