Overview
- Photographer Keith Allen Kerbs filmed the Oct. 6 encounter from a distance and later shared the footage on Instagram.
- The man advanced toward at least five wolves, was partially encircled, and sprayed what observers described as bear spray before retreating.
- Bystanders can be heard warning him in the video, which was widely reshared, including by AccuWeather and a Facebook group titled “Yellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots.”
- Reports indicate the visitor left without a reported injury, and his identity or any enforcement action has not been reported.
- Yellowstone advises staying 100 yards from wolves, and park information notes there has never been a recorded wolf attack on a human in the park.
