Park rangers at Grand Teton National Park are searching for two individuals who were seen harassing a bison calf. The incident is under investigation, and officials have emphasized the importance of viewing wildlife safely and ethically. Approaching wildlife can drastically affect their well-being and survival, and often these interactions result in euthanizing the animal. Visitors are urged to treat all wildlife with caution and respect, as they are wild, unpredictable, and can be dangerous.

Hawaii man pleads guilty in Yellowstone bison calf death.

Clifford Walters, a Hawaii man, pleaded guilty to disturbing wildlife after he tried to help a stranded bison calf reunite with its herd in Yellowstone National Park, which ultimately led to the calf's death. The calf had been separated from its mother, and park rangers repeatedly tried to reunite them, but the herd resisted. The calf was later euthanized by park staff because it was causing a hazardous situation by approaching cars and people along the roadway. Yellowstone has a policy of not rescuing and rehabilitating animals, and it is illegal to transport bison out of the park unless they are going to meat processing or scientific research facilities.

Guilty plea for disturbing Yellowstone bison calf leads to fine.

A Hawaii man, Clifford Walters, pleaded guilty to a federal charge and was fined after he helped a bison calf, which was later euthanized after its herd rejected it in Yellowstone National Park. Walters helped a newborn bison calf out of the Lamar River, after the animal became separated from its herd. The calf was then rejected by the herd, which can happen when humans interfere with wildfire, according to the park. Walters was ordered to pay a total of around $1,000 in a fine and payment to the park's wildlife fund.
