“So, They Lied To Us?” – Yellowstone Visitors Stunned As Deer Walks Right Into Thermal Pool

Bambi about to be deer soup. I guess this deer didn’t see the warning signs…

Thermal pools ain’t nothing to mess around with though. Curious (and stupid) minds tends to take over, and people love to roll the dice at Yellowstone National Park. Whether it’s approaching a wild animal, or getting to close to a thermal pool even though they can reach temperatures up to 345 degrees.

There are countless signs warning people to stay out but they just can’t seem to help themselves. Time and time again we see and hear of people going right into these springs. Some have even died as they found a human foot in one.

Beyond them being dangerous, they are rare and special feature of the landscape, making their protection highly important. However, people don’t seem to care and just want to get that cool video. With wildlife, the same rules don’t apply. They don’t see fences or signs, but they also wouldn’t walk into a scorching hot spring. The habitat and wildlife coexist just fine.

These folks were shocked to find that out though while they were visiting a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. The deer is seen walking straight to, and then right into, a thermal feature.

The man behind the camera was stunned:

“Are you gonna go get burnt by acid? Ow… What the… So they lied to us? It’s been a lie this whole time.”

Truth is that different thermal pools run at different temperatures. Some are hot and some are REALLY hot. Some will melt the skin right off your hand.

This deer, who may or may not know any better, obviously found one of the cooler ones. Nevertheless, I’m afraid that this viral deer is gonna make everybody run out there and try to touch it…
