It boggles my mind how excited tourists get when they see wildlife around here. Whenever there's a big horned sheep or hell even a couple of deer on the side of the highway there's always cars parked on the side of the road snapping away with their cameras. makes me laugh.
the worst was on a kayaking trip in the states. we were driving up through glacier national park in montana, and if anyone's ever driven that road, you'll recall that most of it is a VERY narrow mountain pass full of blind corners a switchbacks. We came across a huge line of cars, all stopped in the middle of the right lane, for apparently no reason. we finally edged closer and saw that 6 cars had stopped, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE F*CKING ROAD* to look at a mountain goat. the kicker was there was a pull-over lane only about 50 metres down the highway. but no, the goat was so exciting they had to block traffic for hundreds of metres both ways rather than take the chance it would walk away in the 2 minutes it would have taken to pull over in a safe area. absolute retards. almost as bad as the tourists i've seen putting honey on their kids hands so the cute cuddly black bears will come up and lick them.
