Yellowstone Tourist Narrowly Escapes Vicious Wolf Attack
18 Nov
Summary
- Yellowstone tourist approached dangerously close to a pack of wolves
- Witnesses pleaded for the tourist to get away as the wolves advanced
- Tourist sprayed bear spray but continued to approach the wolves

On October 6, 2025, a tourist in Yellowstone National Park was caught on camera in a terrifying encounter with a pack of wolves. The video showed the man walking across a grassy valley as a group of black wolves began trotting toward him. Witnesses from a safe distance pleaded for the tourist to "get the f*** away" from the approaching animals.
Despite the warnings, the man continued to walk toward the wolves, even appearing to wave his arm at them. He attempted to ward them off by spraying bear spray, but the wolves remained undeterred and continued closing in. As the situation grew increasingly perilous, the onlookers grew concerned, with one saying the tourist was "in mortal danger" and "an absolute moron" for his reckless actions.
Fortunately, the tourist managed to back away from the wolves before they could attack, disappearing behind a ravine. Experts later explained that the wolves, born earlier that year, were likely just curious about their first encounter with a human. While wolf attacks on humans are extremely rare, the park's rules clearly state that visitors must maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from all dangerous wildlife, including wolves. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of respecting the boundaries and safety protocols in Yellowstone National Park.
