And yet, this is completely normal there:
I have ACCIDENTALLY encountered Griz and wolves there. Never knew they were around until it was too late.
Go to Yellowstone.
First thing you’re told is not to approach the wildlife.
Even if the tour operator is a moron, it didn’t mean the couple had to leave their common sense in the car.

My mother was being heroic. Her fellow tourist was the moron, having slipped past a guardrail and warning signs to get closer to the bison for the sake of a better picture. Fortunately, the great beast remained placid and undisturbed throughout.
I live just North of YNP — man the stupid people!
I recall when I was in college at Montana State and Reagan was President a photographer from France was taking pics of wildlife and, as is the point of this story, bison: he gave his camera to a tourist and asked the bloke to take a photo of him (the photographer) next to a buffalo.
The photo was snapped just as the bison was removing the Frenchman’s head via it’s horn...the head landed 40’ away and the professional photographer never took another photo ever again...

First thing you’re told is not to approach the wildlife.>>>> In Yellowstone in the late 1960’s the car in front of us had the window opened. The bear reached in and took the food from the occupant in the passenger seat. Meanwhile a bear was leaning on our car like it was a bar waiting for us to serve up a beer. We slowly moved along. the bear slid off.
I’ve seen Japanese chase a grizzly down a trail with cameras clicking and the girl ranger chasing after them yelling stop for Gods sake
