I remember reading recently of a teenager from Taiwan who was mauled by a bison in Yellowstone while taking a selfie with it. Thankfully, she lived. When asked why she did something so foolish, she said, “I didn’t think they’d allow wild animals in a park”.
Others have gotten the horns. https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/22/travel/yellowstone-woman-bison-attack-selfie/index.html
I’ve heard crazy stories for decades about tourists taking family photos too near wild animals in Yellowstone. The strange phenomenon pre-dates the WorldWideWeb. I remember first hearing about it in the 70s, although I don’t know how often it happens. Probably more common now due to the “selfie” stuff, and we only hear about the bad outcomes.
There always seems to be some human stupidity coming out of Yellowstone.
I’ve seen videos of people getting much too close to the wildlife and paying the consequences.
One favorite was a Japanese tourist trying to get a close up of a Bison.
He got tossed to the top of a 20 foot pine tree before the Bison lost interest.
Luckily he was able to walk away.
