The clip showed a man in a white scarf striding across an open field toward a group of five black wolves while a crowd of parkgoers watched in alarm on Oct. 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis could end very badly for that guy,\u201d somebody was heard saying in the video, which was first posted to the aptly named Facebook group \u201cYellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The man in the scarf was initially backing away from the animals, but as they bounded toward him and appeared to begin surrounding him, he started advancing \u2014 and came within feet of several of them while waving something in his hand.<\/p>\n \u201cHey! Hey! Get the hell away from them! Back up!\u201d people began shouting from a ridgeline as the man kept goading the animals, before he raised his hand and fired off what appeared to be a shot of bear spray.<\/p>\n The wolves seemed undeterred, however, and kept advancing as the man in the scarf kept retreating \u2014\u00a0until the entire group disappeared from view into a ravine.<\/p>\n Only the dangerous animals\u2019 black tails and ruffs could be seen over the crest of the hill as the watchers wondered if the worst was occurring<\/a> just out of view. <\/p>\n \u201cHopefully, they didn\u2019t get him. Well, should I say that out loud? That I wouldn\u2019t really care if they did?\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s in mortal danger,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n The wolves eventually backed off and went on their way, while the man in the scarf was later seen returning from the field and acting erratically as he went \u2014 prompting people to speculate that he was high on some kind of drug.<\/p>\n And while he survived his encounter with the animals, people watching joked that he was going to get bitten worse once the park\u2019s wildlife lovers got hold of him.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s gonna get his ass chewed,\u201d one said. \u201cOh yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n National parks prohibit visitors from coming within 100 yards of wildlife \u2014 especially dangerous predators like wolves, bears and mountain lions that roam freely in parks like Yellowstone.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, boneheaded visitors sometimes ignore the rules, and several headlines about people being gored by the likes of bison<\/a> typically come out of the parks each year.<\/p>\n Wolf attacks are extremely rare, however, even in the wild \u2014 the last recorded fatality confirmed in the US happened in Alaska in 2010.<\/p>\n![\"Sign](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/photo-provided-national-park-service-109877436.jpg\")
