I've been going to YNP since I was a child. On a couple of my last trips after I retired, I found it fascinating to watch folks that think they're in an open air zoo where all the animals are tame.
Saw a woman complaining to a Ranger about the huge dent in her car door. She attempted to drive through a herd of Bison and their babies while they crossed the road. I also spotted a guy, armed with his trusty camera, walk up past the rear end of a male elk so he could get a pic of the elk's head. He was less than a yard away from a rather impressive rack of antlers. Neither human was hurt.
A Ranger that I talked to said that they spend a good part of their day explaining to visitors that they aren't in a petting zoo or are walking around pools of steaming water safe for bathing.
There are people on this earth that are too dumb to live and spend their lives proving it.
Yes, too many people are clueless when it comes to wildlife.
And that's no bull...
