So you're in Yellowstone and you see a bison.

VERY COOL!

You want to get a photo or a video of it.

Also cool!

Did you know that YOU do not need to be in that picture?

Hard to imagine for some of you, but it is okay to just take pictures of what you see without inserting yourself.

But if you're going to put yourself in the photo - DO NOT DO WHAT THIS GUY DID!

He just keeps getting closer and closer.

He has NO IDEA how dangerous what he is doing is.

Even though there are signs all over the park telling people TO NOT DO THIS!

Constantly posting what the dumbest tourists in Yellowstone have done lately serves one of two purposes.

1) We get to make fun of them. Don't want to miss that opportunity.

2) The more tourists that see these videos online, the fewer of them will do stuff like this. We hope. Some of these people are really stupid. We can't save them all.

Let's start with some people who drive too close to a Yellowstone bison.

We know they have to get by, but NEVER get this close. The bison have a social distance around them that they protect.

DO NOT HAND FEED THE FLUFFY COWS!

This next guy is a major idiot.

We know you just want to be friendly.

But the bison don't see it that way.

Remember, they have a social distance that they want to protect.

Get FAR FAR FAR away from that bear.

These people are asking for trouble.

Bears DO NOT want to cuddle, and much like the bison, all of these people getting this close to them will make them nervous.

SURE, going up on that hill would make a great picture.

The problen is that going up on that hill will also get you trampled by a bison who wonders what the heck that guy is doing up there.

Take the photo from down below.

That beast could literally toss that tourist all the way back down to the road if it wanted.

I hope we have all learned something here.

The truth is that some people have learned something by watching these videos.

Others will never learn.
