With recent reports a young girl getting thrown in the air by one bison in Yellowstone National Park and a man petting another , the National Parks Service has released a tongue-in-cheek guide for behavior around wildlife.

Park officials continue to stress the importance of never getting near wildlife, to keep you and the animals safe.
