Exactly. I worked in an area with bison, tourists always tried to creep up to them for that "great shot". No one ever got hurt (fortunately we were around to tell them to back off). Still, we should have had a stack of Darwin awards to hand out to them. This guy certainly deserves one.
This really sucks.
I was in Cades Cove and watched a man chasing bear CUBS to get that great photo. Mama bear must have been distracted elsewhere because the guy apparently came to no harm.
