A family has been caught posing two young children for photos among elk at Yellowstone National Park – much to the frustration of Park Rangers, who swiftly intervened upon spotting the children dangerously close to the animals.
Ty Mixon, who shared photos of the incident via Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, said he was surprised to see people acting so carelessly around the local animals just two days into his stay at Yellowstone, but commented that a Park Ranger handled the situation quickly. Mixon's first photo (which you can see below) shows the children being encouraged to stand right in front of an elk, while the second shows a Ranger striding purposefully towards them to deliver some strong words.
