iStock/EEI Tony(CALIFORNIA) Yosemite National Park officials warned visitors not to feed or approach wildlife after a girl was attacked by a buck. The girl, whose identity has not been made public, was approaching a deer being fed by other visitors when the animal became spooked and charged her with his antlers, the park service said on Wednesday. She was taken to Yosemite Medical Clinic to be treated for deep wounds on her arm and chest lacerations, officials said. "It is illegal to feed or approach wildlife in Yosemite! While some animals, including deer, might get used to people approaching them, they spook easily and will defend themselves if people get too close or startle them," officials posted on Wednesday. Earlier this year, another National Park visitor was sentenced to four days in jail for willfully remaining, approaching and photographing wildlife within 100 yards, according to an October press release from the U.S. Attorney's office.
