Park: Yellowstone's bull elk can be extremely dangerous during the rut

Yellowstone National Park is warning visitors that the elk rut has begun in the park.

Bull elk can be extremely dangerous during this time. Stay alert! People have been severely injured by elk. Elk run quickly and may change direction without warning. Keep at least 25 yards from elk at all times.

If an elk charges you, find shelter in your vehicle or behind a tall, sturdy barrier as quickly as possible.
