         Protect your park,  
         protect yourself 
          
         Yellowstone is filled with natural wonders that are also 
         potential hazards. Special rules apply here, and these 
         rules exist in order to protect you as well as the park 
         you plan to enjoy. 
          
         Everyone who visits Yellowstone should be familiar 
         with the following regulations: 
          
         •   The animals here are wild and you should never 
             approach them, no matter how calm they appear 
             to be. Always stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away 
             from bears and wolves and at least 25 yards (23 m) 
             away from all other animals, including bison and 
             elk. Never leave small children unattended near 
             wild animals. 
         •   Stay on boardwalks and trails in thermal areas: 
             hot springs have injured or killed more people in 
             Yellowstone than any other natural feature. Keep 
             your children close and make sure they understand 
             the danger posed by boiling water. 
         •   Use pullouts to watch wildlife and let other cars 
             pass: do not stop in the road or block traffic in any 
             way. Stay with your vehicle if you encounter a 
             wildlife jam. 
         •   Never feed wildlife, or leave food/garbage unat-
             tended. Animals that become habituated to human 
             food may display aggression toward people and 
             have to be killed. 
          
         There is no guarantee of your safety in Yellowstone, 
         but following these simple rules will help you avoid 
         some of the most common mistakes people make.
