Yellowstone National Park rangers are seeking information on a woman they say was seen approaching grizzly bears in the Roaring Mountain area.
The unidentified woman approached a female grizzly bear and her two cubs around 4:45 p.m. on May 10 at the north end of the Roaring Mountain parking lot, rangers said in a Facebook post.
The mother bear charged the woman and she walked away from the bears, rangers said.
Here's the video from Darcie Addington detailing the encounter:
Wild animals in Yellowstone National Park are exactly that - wild.
When an animal is near a trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, visitors must give it space.
Yellowstone National Park guidelines state that visitors must stay 25 yards away from all large animals – bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes - and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
