Park managers recall the following visitors:
- Wild animals can be aggressive if people do not respect their space. It is your responsibility to stay more than 25 meters from all large animals – bison, elk, America’s sheep, deer, moose and coyotes – and at least 100 meters from bears and wolves. If wildlife is approaching, get away from it to always keep these vision distances safely.
- Bison will defend their space when threatened and have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can operate three times faster than humans.
- Learn more about our security advice when you visit Yellowstone, including how to behave around wildlife. The safety of these animals – and humans – depends on everyone who uses good judgment and according to these simple rules.
