  The visitor tried to save it from drowning, after which reintroduction to the herd failed. Want to make it clear this wasn't a tourist just trying to openly grab a baby bison.

  Still don't think this was appropriate (for the visitor to do) as the rule of these parks is to not interfere.

  Something to do with smell or what?

  I've heard of this with cats too.
