Loved that vid, Grav.
That walker has balls of steel - does all the right things.

Bruce, I have always had a slightly shuddery reaction to elephants. Even those I met close-up in Sri Lanka. That photo, to me, is more unhappy than most of those in the nightmare thread.

Score one for nature.

That's a well-done newscast by ABC.

But maybe the Ranger saying "Yellowstone is wild" is something of an exaggeration.
And a collar on a predator (1:40 mark) is not a Yellowstone pet tag.

I had to play the bit around the 1.40 mark a couple of times as I couldn't believe how close to the bear those people were in the hopes of getting a good photo!

Couldn't they just leave these things to National Geographic or the Discovery Channel?

The animals are wild, plus the interaction of wildlife and people along the road are pretty wild in another sense. Especially Asian tourists, as every time they take a picture of some special attraction like a historic building, monument, or scenery, they have to be in the picture. Forerunner of the selfie, I guess.

The best one was the Ranger telling about a woman smearing peanut butter on her kids necks so she could get pictures of a bear licking them.

Not only are the animals wild. The RV camps get that way after dark.

And here is a "something of an exaggeration" to the other side...

That's a pretty good argument. I hadn't thought about it like that.
