In the wake of a 9-year-old girl getting launched into the air by a bison in Yellowstone National Park in late July and the goring of a teenager in North Dakota by a bison less than a week later, a video of a man petting one of the hulking mammals from a boardwalk in Yellowstone went viral on Aug. 7, eliciting rebuke from park officials. The following day, the National Park Service posted this witty and sarcastic graphic of a “wildlife petting chart,” underscoring that keeping a safe distance from wildlife not only protects humans but also wildlife. “Know the risks of getting too close to wild animals and how to avoid them,” the Facebook post read.
