What do you get when you drop a pumpkin? Squash! What do you get when a bison drops you? Squashed! Few things are more terrifying than people getting too close to wildlife. National parks are packed with creatures of all shapes and sizes. Some have sharp claws, others have big paws. Ultimately, staying safe and keeping wildlife wild is up to you. (No pressure.) Remember to give animals room, (we all need space) keep your eyes on the road, follow the speed limit, and store your food and stash your trash. P.S. Want to create your own “Close Encounter” pumpkin? We’ve got templates! Check out the link in our bio for more! 🎃🔪 Image: Don’t get gourd.
