Yellowstone Tourist Sparks Outrage After Filming Just Inches From Mother Bear And Her Cubs

Yellowstone Tourist Sparks Outrage After Filming Just Inches From Mother Bear And Her Cubs

A video shared to Instagram showed a man filming on his phone as a mother black bear tried to shepherd her two cubs across a road in Yellowstone National Park.

Visitors at Yellowstone National Park were stunned when a tourist stood in the way of a cinnamon-colored black bear and her cubs as they crossed a road and continued to record them on his phone even as the mom moved closer to put distance between the man and her cubs.

Tony Jackson captured the incident and published it on the Instagram page TouronsOfYellowstone, which criticizes inappropriate conduct in US national parks. According to the ranger, if that had been a grizzly bear, it would have been lethal, Jackson reported.


Although bears prefer to avoid conflict with people, they can become hostile if their lives or the lives of their young are in danger. Deliberately going up to wild animals in National Parks is illegal, and a risk to both the human and the animal.

If a bear were to be provoked and attack a human, it would most likely be euthanized for public safety concerns.


People were, justifiably, angry about the man's actions.

Others pointed out that provoking bears, eg coming in-between a mama bear and her cubs, can risk harming the bears.

Others had solutions for the park system to improve the people-problem, that is, the problem of people being in the parks.

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
