video
From a daring motorcyclist speeding through Yellowstone National Park.
In our visit to Yellowstone, we witnessed someone drive their motorcycle dangerously close to a pair of bison located in the Lamar Valley,” states the caption of the post. “He even got closer to two specific bison before returning uphill with what seemed like a GoPro clip to share with his companions.
Motorcycling is allowed in Yellowstone but with restrictions. Speed is limited to 45 miles per hour, and motorcyclists must stay on the road. Additionally, all guests, whether on foot or in a vehicle, are required to maintain a safe distance from wildlife. This touron is breaking all three rules. Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
This isn’t the first instance of a visitor ignoring the park’s regulations and posing a risk to themselves, other people, and animals. A woman was

Although Yellowstone and other national parks excel at providing recreational activities, their main focus is not amusement but rather conservation of natural areas.

Our parks serve as habitats for numerous wildlife species and myriad plant varieties thriving in these safeguarded areas. Ensuring that coming generations can appreciate these stunning parks and preserve the animals living in them requires our commitment.
