Outer Banks tourists taking selfies chase young wild horse away from mother, park says

Three Outer Banks tourists are being sought for questioning after witnesses say they tried to capture a month-old wild foal in an attempt to get selfies, according to the National Park Service.

The incident, which was caught on camera, took place around 4:30 p.m. Friday on the Shackleford Banks, which is part of Cape Lookout National Seashore.

It is illegal to get within 50 feet of the wild horses that roam the park, in part because they are known to kick and bite.
