Woman charged for teasing grizzlies in Yellowstone in viral encounter

An Illinois woman filmed being bluff charged in May by a Yellowstone National Park grizzly bear while snapping photos is now facing charges.

Samantha Dehring has been charged with feeding, touching, teasing, frightening or intentionally disturbing wildlife and violating closures use limits, the Billings Gazette reported Wednesday.

Dehring is set to appear in court the morning of Aug. 26, according to the outlet.

The park requires visitors stay at least 300 feet from bears and wolves and when Dehring was in its Roaring Mountain area on May 15, was roughly 15 feet from a sow, investigators said in court records, according to the outlet.

Jaguar injures man who climbed over barrier at Florida zoo

A jaguar at a Florida zoo swiped at a man on Wednesday after he climbed over a barrier, according to multiple reports.

The man, who was not identified, was hospitalized with non-threatening injuries after climbing over a wooden barrier at the jaguar display at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, The Florida Times-Union reported.

Zoo marketing director Kelly Rouillard told the newspaper that the man went over a waist-high safety barrier that separated space between visitors and a metal mesh fence.

Rouillard told the newspaper that the man was "looking to interact" with the jaguar, 12-year-old Harry, "closer than he should have." The cat took swipes at the man through the metal fence.

1. 98% of this is dead on. stupid games - stupid prizes ..

the 2%? This woman wasn't actually "teasing" the grizzly in the encounter - just too damned close to a bear with offspring. The "teasing" is part of the charging language in the offense she was charged with.

Glad to see the Park (and Zoo) handing out charges - this crap is getting WAY old.
