Humans Taking A Toll On Yellowstone Wildlife

Visitors to Yellowstone National Park are taking a toll on the park's wildlife, where in recent days two black bears have been killed by motorists, an elk and a bison were also hit by vehicles, a newborn elk calf was picked up by motorists concerned for its fate, and a bison calf had to be put down after a visitor tried to help it out of the Lamar River so it could catch up with its mother.
