A series of injuries at Yellowstone National Park has officials warning tourists that selfies and bison don't mix.
A 43-year-old Mississippi woman was thrown into the air recently after she turned her back on a bison to take a photo of herself with it.
Four other tourists have been hurt in similar incidents this year, Yellowstone officials said.
Previously bison attacks had been unusual, they added.
"The (woman) said they knew they were doing something wrong but thought it was OK because other people were nearby," park spokeswoman Amy Bartlett told the Associated Press.
"People are getting way too close."

Well, okay, then. But westerners wouldn't do something dumb like pose for selfies with guns, would they ?
