Hilarious Illinois Wildlife Safety Guidelines from National Park Service

When spending time in one of Illinois' 5 national parks, you'd think comment sense would always be used. Nope. That's why we got this funny reminder.

SUMMER FUN: The 5 Best Camping Spots in Illinois

None of the above 'must-see' Illinois attractions are the kinds of places you would likely have an encounter with wildlife, but Illinois is also blessed to have over 60 state parks, as well. It's there where you might be subject to a dangerous encounter with wildlife.

What I like most about this wildlife warning from the National Parks Service is that its creator(s) are as surprised as the rest of us that there are people who can be so incredibly dumb as to try and get a selfie with a wild, horned animal that weighs over 500 pounds?

It doesn't really matter the kind of warning given, because... well, because "stupid."
