Bear selfies are being conducted at parks around the country but Waterton Canyon is the first to actually do something about it.

The Denver Water’s manger of recreation has said that he has seen people get within 10 feet of bears, just to take a selfie, according to the New York Daily News article. “The current situation is not conducive for the safety of our visitors or the well-being of the wildlife”.

Colorado’s Waterton Canyon park has bears, and those bears have a problem: hikers wielding selfie sticks.

But Waterton Canyon isn’t the only park that has raised alarms about hikers with overeager photography habits.

Brandon Ransom, Denver Water’s manager of recreation, says the concerns were exasperated as they saw images of bears surfacing from an increasingly close range.

Personal safety takes a backseat to the selfie game all too often – the U.S. Forest Service had to issue a request for visitors to keep their distance from wild bears in Lake Tahoe previous year when too many visitors charged up closer to bears to get a photo in front of them.

In August, 63-year-old Lance Crosby was killed by a grizzly bear as he hiked in Yellowstone National Park.

This summer there has been a number of incidents with bears in public places. But don’t try to distract the animal while adjusting your Instagram filters.

Overeager nature photographers trying to get in the photo with mama bears foraging the canyon with their cubs is ‘asking for trouble, ‘ Denver Water wrote in their blog post.
