A video circulating online shows tourists standing dangerously close to a large bison, reigniting concerns about visitors ignoring safety guidance around wild animals in US national parks. The footage highlights a recurring problem at parks such as Yellowstone, where people frequently approach massive, unpredictable wildlife for photographs or close-up views, despite repeated warnings and past incidents of animals charging or attacking tourists.

The article references a separate recent video from Yellowstone National Park in which a child ran past a bison and was briefly chased before escaping unharmed, with park authorities confirming no injuries occurred. Wildlife experts and commentators continue to caution that bison, despite their docile appearance, can move fast and cause serious harm, and that visitors should keep a safe distance rather than treating them like tame animals.
