[Thanks to Susan for the crazy nooze tip.]
Yellowstone Park police are looking for some knucklehead who likes to jump out of his car and spook the bears (https://notthebee.com/article/the-feds-are-hunting-for-a-serial-bear-harasser-who-has-repeatedly-charged-bears-at-yellowstone). They say he charges them, on foot–and so far the bears have run away.
Here (I hope) is a video of this jackass in action.
Hello–anybody home? Like, what happens if the bear doesn’t run away? He’d better hope the rangers catch him first. It’s unfortunate the video doesn’t capture his license plate.
I don’t know that the gene pool would be any the poorer for the bears eating him. But it would be good for the wildlife to discourage these shenanigans.
Chasing bears is a foolish hobby. It only has to go wrong once …
Have you ever tried it?
Nope. I’m too busy diving into volcanoes. 🙂
Sure hope he gets caught. Yellowstone is too magical a place for people who think it is their private playground.
Caught by the cops or caught by a bear?
