YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK \u2014\u00a0One Yellowstone National Park visitor provided an example of what not to do when wolves are present. <\/p>\n

In a clip originally shared to the Facebook group\u00a0\u201cYellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots\u201d by Keith Kerbs, a man can be seen getting dangerously close to a pack of wolves in the park. Numerous onlookers offer their commentary about the riskiness of the situation, audible in the video.<\/p>\n

The interloper discharged a cloud of what appears to be bear spray toward the wolves, which eventually back off. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey were curious,\u201d Yellowstone Wildlife Guide Company owner Evan Stout told SFGate<\/a>, adding that the wolves in the video are likely pups born earlier this year. \u201cIt was probably their first-ever interaction with a human.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident, which is reported to have occurred during the government shutdown on Oct. 6, has been covered by USA Today<\/a>, People<\/a>, the New York Post<\/a> and more. <\/p>\n

The National Park Service advises visitors to stay a minimum of 100 yards away from predators including wolves and bears. YNP\u2019s website states that there have been no reported wolf attacks in the park, but that wolves have attacked humans elsewhere. <\/p>\n
