What a DANGEROUS trend!
According to recent reports from Taylor Creek Visitor Center in South Lake Tahoe, there’s been an influx of guests attempting to take selfies with grizzly bears.

Yes, grizzly bears. Bears around 9ft tall that can weigh up to 1,700 pounds. Oh, and grizzlies can totally KILL you.
A representative explained:
“We’ve had mobs of people that are actually rushing toward the bears trying to get a ├óΓé¼╦£selfie’ photo. It is presenting a safety issue. We are afraid someone is going to get attacked.”
We’re afraid too!
The source added:
“Bears are unpredictable, wild animals and may attack if threatened.”
It seems completely dumb and reckless to possibly provoke a bear into attack mode just over a picture!
All these tourists need to leave these bears alone — for their sakes and those of the animals!
