Stephen: Tourist films wife trying to pet bull moose at US national park

A man has shared a video of his wife approaching a bull moose at a US National Park with the intention of petting the animal, ignoring his warnings to keep away.

“This is proof, for the doctors, of what her bodily injuries are from,” says the man, who is also standing much too close, as his partner edges closer to the animal. “This is ‘what not to do’ video, folks.”

According to Advnture, the clip likely may have been shot at Yellowstone or Grand Teton. It was shared via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, which calls out examples of bad behavior at sites of natural beauty around the world. Other recent examples have included a woman leading her small child onto a cliff overlooking a waterfall, a man trying to separate a mother bear from her cubs, and a tourist climbing over a safety barrier at the top of Yosemite Falls.
