Here's what not to do at Yellowstone National Park

A video went viral on the Instagram account @TouronsOfYellowstone showing what appears to be a woman flirting with death. The original owner wrote of the video:

Queen Touron of Yellowstone. Sighted at Biscuit Basin. 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.

The big takeaway here is how the person filming pointed out how arrogant this person was in the presence of the bison. She ignored all of the warnings from people all in the name of getting the perfect shot. She could even be seen turning around smiling at those behind her waiting for the bison to react at any moment.

Here is why that is EXTREMELY dangerous...

Imagine if something happened to this woman... what would the narrative be?

Let this all serve as a reminder to watch your distance and maintain space between you and potentially dangerous animals like bison.
