Visitors to Yellowstone National Park obviously want to see wildlife, and the odds of spotting a crowd-favorite bear are "not too bad," according to the park's website, which notes that "visitors reported more than 40,000 bear sightings between 1980 and 2011."
One guest, however, is feeling left out of all that fun. On what appears to be a legitimate comment card from Xanterra Parks and Resorts, a Reddit user reported receiving this feedback:
"Our visit was wonderful but we never saw any bears," the unnamed guest complains. "Please train your bears to be where guests can see them. This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears."

Earlier this year, a grizzly was involved in the first fatal attack inside the park since 2011. That's due, in part, to the fact that Yellowstone National Park is not a zoo — and has no trained bears.
