There are serious issues at Yellowstone Park with photographers and selfie-seekers getting far too close to wild animals. Some of these videos are shocking.
dedicated to “tourons” in Yellowstone Park showcases some of the worst offenders. It boasts over a quarter of a million followers.
It is illegal to “willfully remaining, approaching, and photographing wildlife within 100 yards” in Yellowstone but as these videos show: theIn the below video, taken at Biscuit Basin, a selfie-seeking woman is seen carelessly standing right next to a huge bison. The person who filmed it told Tourons of Yellowstone: “She was trying to pet it. It was insane. Like inches. Her arrogance was so infuriating. People were telling her to move away and she kept posing for like 10 minutes.
“This touron got lucky. This bison is still pretty young, If that was an older bull he would have most likely been knocked into Timbuktu,” writes Tourons of Yellowstone.“Even a female bison could kick his a***. Please keep at least 25 yards from these bison, there is absolutely no reason to be this close, do you really need a pic up into the bison’s nostrils⁉️ The touron’s license plate was sent over to the park along with this video.
Bison are familiar with people and cars in Yellowstone but can become easily agitated when they feel threatened. A 2018 study showed that on average, bison injured one or two people in Yellowstone every year.
