A group of tourists got to close to a mother black bear in Yellowstone National park. They have videos of the event. I can't believe how people are reacting. It is a bear with cubs. They seem unaware that she is dangerous.

They should have returned to their cars immediately. Better yet, they should not have approached a mother bear with cubs. It look like she has triplets. That is enough to make her edgy as it is without a bunch of tourists getting too close.

The people look so casual and unconcerned! It looked as though one cub ran off in the opposite direction. I hope they were reunited.

I think the bears would be reunited easily. The people however seem to have no idea that they were dealing with a dangerous animal. Black bears look cute, especially when they are cubs, but cubs always have a mother and she can be quite protective. I would never want to come between a bear and her cub.
