A man visiting Yellowstone National Park found out the hard way why it's a bad idea to taunt a bull elk – even once their mating season is over.
A video of the incident was shared on Instagram by TouronsOfNationalParks, which specializes in highlighting bad behavior at US National Parks – often involving elk, bears, and bison. In the clip (which you can watch below), the man encounters the animal while driving along a snowy road. Rather than stopping, turning off his engine and waiting for the elk to pass, he drives closer and asks whether it wants a fight.
