I’ve been to Yellowstone and have seen the stupid tourists try to take selfies with the bison.

I didn’t see any gorings, but I can easily see how they happen with such stupid behavior.

Same here. However the bison do come up to OFI and Y-Stone cabins at the Lake. You have to be very careful going in and coming out sometimes. Don’t startle them and always have an exit plan if they do get excited. I never had any trouble with them. I was mostly frightened with a moose encounter on the waterfall trail. I trust the moose even less than the bison.

I saw a man in the Smoky Mountains trying to take a picture of two bear cubs. He got between mama bear and the cubs, bending over to take their picture.

Mama ripped his pants off, leaving bloody claw marks down the back of his legs. The guy managed to get in his car and drive off.
