It says: “This morning at Grand Prismatic. Mama grizzly and her two two-year-old cubs. He told the people to leave and no one moved. I did my best to chase them away, but these people had no idea. In the end we had to bail, but they were getting closer as I was leaving.”
The video shows an excited group of tourists in Yellowstone National Park in the United States surrounding a grizzly bear and her cubs. Some tourists were seen getting too close to the bear family while taking photos and videos, which could have caused a potentially dangerous situation.

Here’s how people reacted to this video:
An Instagram user wrote: “And when grizzlies attack, they are the ones who pay the price with the death penalty. Yellowstone will have to step up and put tourists on safari jeeps and not allow human interaction with wildlife. It’s people who misbehave, not bears or bison. Stop letting people walk freely in the park.”
“The obvious stupidity of these individuals is astounding. It’s a mother grizzly bear with her cubs. This is not a zoo. Respect wildlife and their habitat and territory. Approaching them is an invitation to attack. Such an event would lead to the extermination of the mother and leave the cubs helpless. Before visiting any place, especially national parks, where animals and habitats are fiercely protected, learn the rules of the road before you enter or just don’t go!” published another.
A third commented: “They should all be banned from ever visiting national parks again.”
“There are simply too many people in this park. People should just leave these animals alone,” said a fourth.
The fifth said, “Well, if they are hurt, I had better not hear them complain that the bear should be killed.” These people do not care at all about the safety of their children. They have their kids there and everything.”
