For the average tourist, the National Parks, especially out West are almost a petting zoo for large mammals. The critters have become used to the presence of man and vehicles.

The CG in Zion National Park is practically overrun with mule deer who have very little fear of humans. I was taking one of my dogs for a walk through the CG loop and heard some steps behind me to find a doe trailing us (with 2 little ones and a small buck further back). I suspect she was worried that I had lassoed someone other doe's little one (my dog is a similar enough color). You can see how bold she was by my shadow.
