It’s never a good idea to sneak up on wildlife. This tourist at Yellowstone national park found out what happens when you get way too close to a wild buffalo.

Approaching wildlife, especially large and potentially dangerous animals like buffaloes, should always be avoided for some pretty obvious reasons. Firstly, it poses a significant safety risk. Wild animals are unpredictable and may react aggressively when they feel threatened or cornered. Buffaloes, in particular, are known to be territorial and defensive of their personal space, making sneaking up on them a dangerous proposition for both the individual and the animal.

Secondly, getting too close to wildlife can disrupt their natural behaviors and routines. Animals may experience stress and anxiety when humans intrude into their habitat, leading to adverse effects on their feeding, resting, and breeding patterns. Observing wildlife from a safe distance ensures that they can live undisturbed in their natural environment.
