10 times tourists were killed by wild animals

4. Mountain Goat Charges Washington State Picnicker

In 2010, 63-year old Robert Boardman was enjoying an afternoon picnic with his friends in Olympic National Park when a mountain goat approached the group. Boardman ushered his friends back to the safety of the car. However, as he tried to wave the goat away, it charged, gouging him in the thigh with its horns. According to eyewitness accounts, the angry goat then stood over Boardman as he bled to death. Park rangers later found and killed the animal, which was known to be aggressive and monitored by park staff for several years. It is the only fatal attack by mountain goat in the park’s history.
