YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — With warmer weather finally arriving and Yellowstone National Park starting to open some of its roads this Friday, now is a good time to remind anyone new to national parks that any wildlife you may encounter is, in fact, wild.
This video of a bison gouging a tourist's vehicle is getting renewed attention thanks to the Tourons of Yellowstone Instagram page. "Touron" is a combination of tourist and moron, obviously. As one would expect, the Instagram page has plenty of videos of tourists inexplicably trying to get very close to bison and other wildlife, and ending about how you would expect the encounters to go.
Yellowstone National Park encourages tourists to stay a minimum 25 yards away from bison and elk, and 100 yards from bears and wolves.
