Yellowstone tourists flee for their lives, chased by irate mother elk

Cow elk and calf in field touching noses

A pair of tourists visiting Yellowstone National Park have been caught on camera sprinting for safety after getting on the wrong side of a protective mother elk. The pair were apparently got too close for comfort while trying to take photos of her newborn calf, causing her to charge.

The incident was captured by Tyler Reid, who spotted the pair through a window at Lake Yellowstone Hotel. The video (which you can watch below) was then shared by Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, which calls out examples of bad behavior at US National Parks and other sites of natural beauty.
