Oh this reminds me of one of my favorites. I was helping my wife do her field research back when she was in grad school. She'd been doing surveys in a wetland along one side of this lake in a national park, and every morning a cow moose and her calf would come poke around and graze down the bank a ways and they all got along just fine. One morning, this couple who had been backcountry camping in the area happened to be down at the lake at the same time and the woman saw the moose. So she blunders down to the edge of the lake, gets between the cow and calf, and started taking pictures of the calf. Mama moose immediately got irate and started charging her and coughing and stomping and generally being a huge mostly unhinged tank of an ungulate. The lady took off up through the trees blowing a whistle as hard as she could and yelling. My wife had a park service ranger radio and we were just sure we were going to have to radio down to HQ for a ranger to bring a bag up and scraper this idiot into it while we consoled her husband. It all ended fine, but man I hope that woman felt the fullness of her stupidity for a long time after that.
