A man has been caught at Yellowstone National Park giving a picture-perfect demonstration of how not to photograph the local wildlife, squatting down right beside a herd of bison to take close-ups at dangerously close range.<\/p>\n

The man, wearing swim shorts and slides, completely ignored advice from the National Park Service (NPS) to stay at least 25 yards (23 meters) from bison and elk at all times, and to ideally watch them from the safety of a vehicle.<\/p>\n

A video of the encounter, which you can see below, was shared online by park visitor Scott Hansen, and was posted this week on Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone \u2013 a page that calls out bad behavior at US National Parks (often involving wildlife).<\/p>\n
