Viewing Ethics:
If your actions cause a wild animal to discontinue feeding, leave or otherwise alter behavior, you are too close.

• Some animals may appear tolerant of your presence but are never less undergoing stress and will flee or charge unexpectedly.
• Gather information at a park visitor center before viewing or photographing wildlife.
• A fed animal is a dead animal. Please do not feed bears or any other wild animals.
