At this rate, it should be a record year for goring incidents, Chinese tourists seem particularly clueless. So far no goring's, but it's coming.

If you have any from your area, post them up.

If that buffalo ran off with her pants, I wonder if it also got her keys and wallet and ID. She may get home and it'll be sitting on her couch waiting to finish the job.

Not a good idea: cooking chicken in thermal features at Yellowstone National Park

Lets fire up the yard bird in the thermal pot!

I hear thermal cooked chicken is delicious... Expensive, and will cost you your freedom, but delicious...

I usually marinate my chicken in rotten eggs overnight before grilling.

Yes by all means, if you're in Grizzy country, keep food in your tent!

Woman Is Killed in Montana Bear Attack

The grizzly bear entered Ovando Monday morning and went to an area near the post office at about 3 a.m. where the victim was sleeping in a tent, according to a news release.

Another couple in her party were sleeping in a tent nearby.

The bear initially woke the campers but then ran away.

The three campers removed food from their tents, secured it, and went back to bed.

The bear was captured by a video camera at a business less than a block away at about 3:15 a.m.

FWP notes at about 3:30 a.m. the two people in the tent next to the victim were awakened by sounds of the attack.

They left the tent and sprayed the bear with bear spray. It has not been seen since.

The bear pulled the victim from the tent during the fatal attack.

Wildlife officials say at some point during the night the bear also got into a chicken coop in town, killing and eating several chickens.

Tourist seek out gators down here to taunt them, get pictiures. Of course it ends badly. People don't realize how fast a gator can move in short distances on land.

Another non-tourist thing is that high school kids get live chickens and throw them at gators to watch the action. Sometimes the chicken runs back their way and the gator chomps on the first meat in its way.

Yeah I was amazed how fast gator's can be on land. My philosophy is, give everything can kill you plenty of room and don't do stupid shit that is going to get you killed, like sleeping with food in your tent in Grizzly country.

Here is another article on California lady getting chomped by the bear.

KEY WEST, Fla. — Police in Florida are searching for two people who burned a part of Key West's famous Southernmost Point buoy early New Year's Day after setting a fire near the tourist attraction.

Authorities said two males lit a Christmas tree on fire in front of the buoy around 3:30 a.m. Saturday and the flames charred sections of the colorful, 4-ton (3,600-kilogram) cement monument that reads "90 miles to Cuba, Southernmost Point, Continental U.S.A."

Archival webcam images of the buoy from a marketing company shows two people lighting the tree on fire near the marker, with the flames leaving a large black burn mark on the monument.

The webcam showed tourists gathering near the damaged buoy for pictures later Saturday.

The red, yellow, black and white marker resembles a giant marine navigational buoy. It proclaims that Key West is 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Havana. Artists restored the monument after it was damaged during Hurricane Irma in 2017.

PARIS — A man seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum and shouted at people to think of planet Earth.

The Paris prosecutor's office said Monday that the 36-year-old man was detained following Sunday's incident and sent to a police psychiatric unit. An investigation has been opened into the damage of cultural artifacts.

Videos posted on social media showed a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose identity was unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery to slack-jawed guests.

The cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci wasn't damaged.

Security guards were filmed escorting the wig-wearing man away as he called out to the surprised visitors in the gallery: "Think of the Earth! There are people who are destroying the Earth! Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That's why I did this."

Guards were then filmed cleaning the cake from the glass. A Louvre statement confirmed the attack on the artwork involving a "patisserie."

The 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece has seen a lot in its over-500 years in existence.

The painting was stolen in 1911 by a museum employee, an event which increased the painting's international fame. It was also damaged in an acid attack perpetrated by a vandal in the 1950s, and has since been kept behind glass.

In 2009, a Russian woman who was angry at not being able to get French citizenship threw a ceramic cup at it, smashing the cup but not harming the glass or the painting.
