The National Park Service would like you to stop taking selfies with bison
It's hard to resist, but no, you shouldn't take selfies with bison. The National Park Service published a notice Wednesday asking Yellowstone National Park visitors to refrain from such photo ops after a woman snapped a picture with a bison just six yards away from her (the legal limit is 25 yards).
She was the fifth person injured in a bison encounter this summer, NPS says, but as The New York Times reports, that isn't necessarily deterring selfie-takers.
