Yellowstone visitors endanger wildlife by putting baby elk in car

Visitors to Yellowstone National Park put a newborn elk calf in their car and brought it to the West Yellowstone Police Department over the Memorial Day weekend. The elk later ran off into the forest and its condition is unknown. Officials are investigating the incident and reminding visitors to approach wild animals with caution and give them space. Park regulations require staying at least 25 yards away from all wildlife and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
