An Illinois woman is facing four days in jail, a one-year ban from Yellowstone National Park and other penalties for not staying far enough away from a grizzly bear and her cubs during an encounter earlier this year, federal officials announced.

Samantha Dehring, 25, has pleaded guilty to willfully remaining, approaching and photographing wildlife within 100 yards.

According to authorities, a sow grizzly and her three cubs appeared near the road in Yellowstone on May 10. While other visitors retreated to their vehicles, Dehring continued to take photos of the grizzlies until the “sow bluff” charged at her, video of the incident shows.

A month ago, in Whistler B.C., a woman was fined $60,000 for repeatedly feeding black bears, “up to 10 cases of apples, 50 pounds of carrots and up to 15 dozen eggs” on a weekly basis.

Interpret that as you will.
