Shirtless man filmed harassing Yellowstone bears may face jail, fine

The unidentified man flexes in triumph following his cretinous deed. Instagram

Video at source

The clip shows a sunglasses-sporting hellion parking his car alongside what appears to be a black bear in a meadow as his friend films from the passenger seat.

He gets out and runs at the critter while howling and grunting like a gorilla, causing the startled animal to flee into the forest as the videographer guffaws hysterically.

The bruin-bothering jackanape whips off his shirt, flexes, and lets out a bloodcurdling roar in apparent triumph over his cretinous deed.

The clip cuts to the now-topless joker chasing another bear into the woods while growling.

Needless to say, viewers were unimpressed with the dumb and dangerous display. Tourons of Yellowstone suggested the outcome would have been far different if “he would have done this to a Griz [grizzly bear] or a Moose.”

Yellowstone authorities say they have viewed the vids and are investigating the incident — which could land the perpetrator in serious trouble — if he doesn’t get mauled to death first.

“The charge in an incident like this would be a Class B misdemeanor with up to six months in jail and $5,000 fine,” said Veress. “The charge/s could include for example disturbing wildlife, disorderly conduct (create/maintain a hazardous condition), and/or approaching wildlife.”

“An Alaskan Grizzly can stand up over 12 feet tall, and run faster than a human.”


I got reeeeeeeeeaaaaalllllllly close to two Alaskan brown bears once. They then ran up a sandy hill — a 65 degree hill that we humans could only get up via a rope — at about 30 MPH. Just an awesome sight to see...

That was one of my nine lives used up...

How about the word “Tourons” as in Tourons of Yellowstone” Is that a portmanteau of “Tourist” and “Morons”?

That may possibly be the very first time in my 72 years I’ve used the word “portmanteau.” I love the way it just trips gently off the tongue, too.

Saw a Black bear on a golf course in Massachusetts last week.

Didn't see anyone chasing after it, golfers were just pleased to see it run towards the nearby reservoir.

We need to bring back broader usage of the word jackanape

I would expect such effete language from a popinjay like you.

He was lucky, a bear would tear apart this guy.
I would like to see him try this with an elephant...

Elephant slaps a woman taking a photo.

That may possibly be the very first time in my 72 years I’ve used the word “portmanteau.”

A verse from the Irish ditty "Leaving Tipperary" (aka "Goodbye Mick"):

In my portmanteau I have some cabbage, beans and bacon
and if you think I can't eat that, well there's where you're mistaken
For if the ship will pitch and toss, for half a dozen farthings
I'll take me bundle on me back and walk to Castle Gardens.

There's also a Bluegrass version with different words.

“portmanteau” is a weird word with completely unrelated meanings. In that ditty you quoted, it is a synonym for “suitcase.”

In my quote, it means mashing two words together to create an entirely new word.
