[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3922676, member: 45328"] I have seen some unbelievably stupid things, tourist do trying to get pictures of wildlife! Undoubitedly the stupidest occoured 30 odd years ago, in the Canadian Rockies. My wife and I were driving along in a provential Park, and saw a large group of cars stopped on the road side. What ever was going on, was still too far to see what was happening, a but a large group of people were out of their cars, and had formed a circle around a large brown animal, that had a huge hump on it's back. I ask if my wife could tell what it was, and she said I think it's a Buffalo, grazing! as we got closer it became obvious what it was, a HUGE Grizzily Bear, the size of a Buffalo!!!!!!!!!! The timber had been cleared back for this road, and there was a lot of grass on the shoulder. We pulled up to within 25/30 feet, of this thing as it was grazing like a cow. we could hear him cutting the grass. There were likely 30/40 people out of their cars, that formed a simi-circle around the bear, taking picuures. I stopped, and told my wife if she would get out and get a good picture, I would keep the car running, she, not so politely replied, she would take one through the glass! After taking a few pictures, we went on down the road, didn't want to see what was about to happen. Not a quarter mile down the road we met a ranger doing about 1000mph, trying to get to this amazing scene before someone got l killed! I guesss everyone survived, but I can't imagine why? This bear literally looked like Burt the Bear used in movies, was 4/5 feet tall at the hump, down on all fours! [/QUOTE]
