Sandra Escobar+FollowTourists Get Way Too Close to Grizzly CubsWhy do people risk it all for a selfie? A group of tourists at Yellowstone literally surrounded a mama grizzly and her cubs for photos—just feet away! Not only is this super dangerous (grizzlies can sprint 40 mph!), but it puts both people and bears at risk. If something goes wrong, it’s usually the animal that pays the price. PSA: Stay in your car and keep your distance. Is a pic really worth it? #News #Yellowstone #WildlifeSafety10Share

Some folks pointed out that squirrels are thriving on their own and don’t need our help, while others raised alarms about diseases like Tularemia and rabies. Have you ever had a close encounter with campus wildlife? Let’s talk about how we can keep everyone—human and animal—safe. #Pets #CampusLife #WildlifeSafety20Share
