‘They have no idea what damage those horns can do’

On By Pranco

Spotting unique wildlife in a beautiful place is definitely an incredible life experience, but it should never come at the expense of that wildlife.

Good tours of Bull (@goodbullguided) knew this all too well, just like her recorded on video a herd of wild elk drinking from a river in Estes Park, Colorado, a popular town just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. It would have been so such a picturesque scene If not for the herds of tourists crowding around the elk and their watering hole.

“You all need to get back,” they warned the others ahead of them, who approached a few feet away from the animals, staring straight at them and blocking the path across the nearby road.

As a tourist, it is a bad idea to get so close to a wild animal. The creatures are in their natural home, and an active human presence can damage resources, reduce habitats and disrupt animal behavior, whether they done deliberately or not.

An even more serious problem may be human security. Animals like moose may seem fuzzy and cuddly, but the antlers on their heads are like weapons. They’re not afraid to use them, and they have loaded people in parks for.

Getting up close may seem like a great photo opportunity, but the best thing you can do is admire the wildlife from a distance, in a car or from a park-designated spot. This way, every animal and human involved remains cool, calm and collected.

The video has been reposted by another Instagram account (@touronsofnationalparks), with the hashtag #KnowingTheParkRulesIsYourResponsibility in the caption. The comments section agreed with the sentiment.

“Don’t understand how this is supposed to bother the critters,” one user wrote.

“They have no idea the damage those horns can do,” said another.
