Saw this over on WOG forum.
Pretty darn scary. What is unbelievable is it took 5 minutes for someone to come help the poor guy.

Forest,

I have been in that park many times and have never seen anything like this. I am sure that I would not have been able to keep my cool like the photog did. I can't believe that no one helped him. Next time I get close to wild life I will remember that they may not just be there for the pictures!

Cheers,
bill

Here again, a picture is worth a thousand words.

But he did get some great shots I'm sure! He's a true photographer, clicking away whenever he could.
Don't know what led up before the video but could have been very bad for him.
Many years ago on a deer hunting trip I shot a buck. When I got up to him he looked dead. So I grabbed the antlers with one hand to roll him over and field dress him. Well my shot severed the spine and he was just paralyzed. When I grabbed the antlers he started swinging his head trying to gore me. At the time I didn't realize he was paralyzed and was trying to hold onto the antlers to keep him from getting me with the front hooves. After a bit I realized what was going on but it was pretty darn terrifying for a second or two!
