NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
National Park Service (NPS) rangers tracked down and cited a man who was seen on video approaching a wild wolf pack at Yellowstone National Park and spraying them with a suspicious substance.
Footage showed the unidentified man hopping toward the unbothered animals, seemingly taunting them as they retreated.
As he was backing up, the wolves started running toward him, at which point he started spraying an unknown substance in their direction.

“We would recommend all visitors remember the following: Wolves may look beautiful, even fluffy from a distance, and that is part of their appeal. But they are still powerful wild predators, and treating them like pets puts both visitors and the animals at risk,” NPS wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The National Park Service reminds all visitors that while our parks are open and accessible, they remain true wilderness. Wildlife are unpredictable and approaching them puts people and animals at risk.”
They added when visitors get too close to wildlife, they may feel threatened and act in self-defense, especially if their young are nearby.
“It is the visitor’s responsibility to maintain a safe distance at all times,” the NPS wrote. “Never approach, feed or disturb wildlife. If an animal moves toward you, back away and give it space. Zoom with your lens, not with your feet.”

Human interaction can also harm wildlife by becoming habituated to human presence, which increases the likelihood of dangerous encounters and can disrupt hunting, feeding and breeding behaviors, according to the NPS.

An investigation is ongoing after a man died days after an assault in San Francisco, authorities said.

The man was taken to a hospital for life-threatening injuries.
Officers eventually arrested 33-year-old Willie Smith of San Rafael in connection with the assault. Police said Smith was booked into jail for aggravated assault and possession of drug paraphernalia.

New England will next travel to Denver on Sunday at 3 p.m. with a berth in the Super Bowl on the line. You can watch the game on CBS and Paramount+ and in the Boston area on WBZ-TV.
Head coach Mike Vrabel was asked how his team can block out the noise heading into next week’s game, as well as the noise from fans expected at Empower Field at Mile High, which is considered one of the toughest road environments in the league.
“We know the stadium is going to be loud,” Vrabel said. “Every opportunity — I think what we’ve done is we’ve asked them to embrace the preparation, embrace the strain and also enjoy every minute of this, enjoy walking into this stadium, coming in here, enjoy putting your uniform on, enjoy going out there doing warm-ups and enjoy seeing your family. But mostly enjoy the execution. We’ll keep doing that, and we know we’ve got to go on the road to a No. 1 seed in the AFC, and it’s not going to be easy. But we’ll come out and be ready to go.”
