Wildlife "tourons" pose risks in national parks, with close selfies causing injuries or death.

Wildlife "tourons" pose risks to both themselves and animals in national parks. Examples include people getting too close to wildlife for selfies, leading to injury or death. The phenomenon, often called "tourons" (a mix of tourist and moron), is documented on social media. Colorado Parks and Wildlife District Wildlife Officer Dawson Swanson says people appreciate and love wildlife, but lack knowledge on how to interact appropriately.
