Some people must really hate being alive and having all their limbs.<\/p>\n

There’s a shocking trend that exists of people deciding to travel to national parks or just out into the wild<\/a> and testing fate with their proximity to animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It happens time and time again. Sometimes, things can go really badly for those involved<\/a>. Yet, it just doesn’t stop.<\/p>\n

Enter a truly mind-boggling video.<\/p>\n

Tourists with a kid pose with bison.<\/p>\n

The popular Instagram account @touronsofnationalparks shared a video that will put your jaw on the floor with shock.<\/p>\n

A family of tourists decided to pose right next to an adult male bison\u2026\u2026and did so with a little kid standing right next to the animal.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, nothing bad happened, which is nothing short of a miracle. You can check out the shocking footage below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.<\/p>\n

It should go without saying, but you should never get that close to a wild animal. That creature is pure muscle and when it gets angry, its only goal is total destruction.<\/p>\n

The comments on the video are every bit as entertaining as you’d expect:<\/p>\n

smh \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f might as well let the little guy play in a truckstop parking lot.Do these people get huge fines? They should. Think of all the $ parks could make!”Houston, we are ready to go for launch.” \ud83e\uddac\ud83d\ude80——–>For an adult to be that close\u2026 fine. That\u2019s Darwinism. To allow your toddler to be that close\u2026 that should be a crime.Madness. I literally waited an hour for a bison to get off the road before bush wacking me and a fully loaded bike around it before I lost daylight to get to my campsite. Like a completely sane person would do.I’m always on the Bison’s \ud83e\uddac side.Do they think the Bison is a Disney character costume? It\u2019s not Disneyland. Like, what is happening right now?It amazes me how so many people have lost their instincts for survival.<\/p>\n

Truly incredible that people don’t understand the reality of nature. No, they’re not your family pet. They’re dangerous animals that could pulverize a human in a fraction of a second.<\/p>\n

Seriously, how dumb do you need to be in order to not understand the basic facts of the situation?<\/p>\n
