Yep, riding, petting, and tickling a wild animal is not covered. Time to back away. In general, if wild animals react to your presence you are too close. If you’re close enough for a selfie, or a tickle fight (Let’s be honest, you’re not going to win. But I’m laughing so hard my sides hurt? Oh, that’s a moose antler.), you’re definitely too close. In conclusion, let wildlife be wild and observe from a distance.
