VisitJackson Hole's 'Selfie Control' App Aims to Prevent Dangerous Wildlife Interactions
Aug 18, 2024, 07:05 AM
Tourism officials in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, have developed a new app called 'Selfie Control' to help keep tourists at a safe distance from wildlife such as bears, elk, and wolves. The app aims to prevent selfie-seeking amateur photographers from engaging in potentially dangerous interactions with animals. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife in the area. Additionally, officials remind visitors in East Bay parks that petting or posing for selfies with baby cows can be dangerous for both people and grazing animals.
