Forgot the fluffy cows (Bison) that have gored 4 people this year for approaching too closely. Just the other day a shoe with the remains of a foot inside was found in a hot spring. Think phosphoric and sulfuric acids at 140 F. The rest of the body was probably already digested.

This is one of the problems with wildlife parks. People seem unable to comprehend just how dangerous wild animals are when they feel threatened.

Regards the shoe... the owner was probably taking a selfie when they fell in. I think this has happened before?

Yes it has, though one person died when they deliberately got into a pool in the Norris Geyser basin. Nothing left of the body except an oily sheen on the surface. People do not realize that the sides of these pools are very slick with mineral deposits and nearly impossible to get out of. We have hiked in grizzly country and are situationally aware, if not hyper aware. I've carried a 20g with barrel cut to 18-1/2 inches with two rounds of rubber slugs containing bear repellant followed by two rounds of rifle slugs if the hint is not taken. Never had to use it, even in Glacier or Denali.
