The bad behaviour of tourists invading the person space of bison isn’t restricted to the confines of Yellowstone National Park.

Here we have a man needlessly getting perilously to close to one at Utah’s Antelope Island State Park. There’s a saying about safely snapping pics of bison in the wild…“give them room, use your zoom.”

This guy apparently hadn’t heard that bit of wisdom and decided to get within feet of the animal to capture the perfect picture. Not that its ever okay to get this close, but this dude would have been truly in bad spot if to the bison decided to take issue with his advance. Open field with nowhere to seek cover and bison can run 35+ mph…bad situation waiting to happen.

Remember folks, “give them room, use your zoom”:
