It’s summer! Time to dust off the old chart…🦬⁣ ⁣ We all know national parks offer a unique experience for watching wildlife. But with that privilege comes responsibility. Visitors are responsible for their own safety and for the safety of the animals, too. Simply put, keep your distance—no touching, no feeding, no harassing. For those that do follow the rules and give animals the room they need, THANK YOU! Share this message far and wide with those who don’t follow parks online or may need an extra reminder that a 2,000 pound bison always has the right of way. Also, though the squirrels at the Grand Canyon may do a spot on impression of Oliver Twist, please, sir, they don’t need more of your snacks. We want everyone to have a safe and memorable experience in the parks, animals included. ⁣ ⁣ Image: Outline of a bison with words describing the negative results of touching an animal or getting too close. ⁣ ⁣ #recreateresponsibly #keepwildlifewild #nationalparkservice #planlikeaparkranger
