What not to do when you see a bear
Tourists were seen getting out of their cars and rushing over to a mother bear and her two cubs at Yellowstone.
The bears seem to leave as the tourists approach them, but it’s better to not run directly at bear. While they are cute, they can be feisty.
Run to Australia Zoo
Australia Zoo now has quokkas, cute and friendly creatures you can approach.
Robert Irwin, with the help of a very affectionate quokka, showed off the newest addition to the zoo in a TikTok video.
