Yet another instance of tourists getting dangerously close to wildlife in Yellowstone National Park has come to light. Recently, a bull elk was captured on video charging at a tourist in the iconic USA’s Yellowstone National Park. Authorities have repeatedly warned visitors to maintain a safe distance from elks, particularly during mating season, as these animals can pose a significant threat.
Yellowstone National Park, located primarily in Wyoming, USA, is a natural wonderland teeming with diverse wildlife. As the first national park in the world, established in 1872, Yellowstone has become an iconic symbol of conservation and ecological preservation. Covering over 2.2 million acres, the park provides a vast habitat for numerous species, making it a unique and vital ecosystem.
One of the most notable aspects of Yellowstone’s wildlife is its megafauna. The park is home to large mammalian species such as the American bison, elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep.
