TL;DR Summary

Tourists visiting Yellowstone National Park put a newborn elk in their car and drove it to the West Yellowstone Police Department. The elk later ran off into the forest, and its condition is unknown. Disrupting wildlife directly violates national park regulations, and visitors are required to stay at least 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards away from bears and wolves. Park officials urge visitors to take necessary precautions like photographing wildlife from a distance, cleaning up after themselves and not taking anything they find from the park.
