BILLINGS – Tourists near Gardiner got an up-close reminder about why it's best to keep your distance from wildlife.
Bob Gibson, who works for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, shot a photo in Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday evening of a sow black bear and her three cubs caught on a bridge over the Yellowstone River, between Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, and Cooke City.
Gibson was with videographer Winston Greely, who shot video of the encounter.
As FWP wrote, "Luckily, no one was hurt and these bears made it safely back to the forest."
