Attention! Wild animals are wild! Hopefully,  a group of tourist visiting Yellowstone National Park have learned an important lesson.  A video taken at the park last month shows an adult  encouraging kids to get close to a wild bison and touch him!  Well, guess what? Yep, the bison suddenly charges at a child!

You can hear a man’s voice "Oh my God, Oh my God, He’s friendly.” then adds “See his head movements, see him gesturing? He’s saying, ‘I will get you, I will get you.’ Touch him on the head.”

WHAT? Some people just don't get it! Respect a wild animal and admire them from a distance! Just because they are furry, doesn't mean they are cuddly!

Watching the video below,  I can't help but get angry when after the chase,  everyone is laughing?  Wow, yeah that IS really funny. They wouldn't be laughing if the kid had been trampled! Thank God no one got hurt.

Oh, and by the way the park has signs posted "CAUTION: BISON ARE WILD AND DANGEROUS, DO NOT APPROACH."  The park also reminds people to stay at least 25 yards away from Bison.
