A disappointed visitor to Yellowstone National Park left a note on a feedback form asking rangers to train bears to hang out where they can be seen. The note, shared on Reddit by a person who purported to be a friend of an employee at a Yellowstone lodge, was written on the bottom of a feedback form for trouble with maintenance and housekeeping. The note reads: “Our visit was wonderful but we never saw any bears. Please train your bears to be where guests can see them. This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears.” A Redditor commenting on the post said the note reminded them of a quote from a Yellowstone park ranger: “There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists.”
An Ohio man who “awoke to a tap tap tap” on his window looked outside to investigate and discovered an enormous nest of bald faced hornets. The Akron resident, who posted his video to YouTube under the username downbelowu1928, said in a Reddit post he hasn’t been been home much this summer and he recently “awoke to a tap tap tap” on a window. The man, Longkniferevolution on Reddit, originally identified his new neighbor as a “yellow jacket nest,” but Redditors said the nest appears to be swarming with bald faced hornets. The man said he will likely let the coming cold weather take care of the infestation for him, adding, “After the freeze kills them I might cut the nest in half to check it out. This is the biggest nest I have ever seen in person, unfortunately it’s attached to my awning!”
