Guys gone wild
This male of the species is about to do something stupid.

A new study finds that Utah's Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Zion National Park had the most search and rescue operations and the highest number of medical calls in the park system.

The research also suggests that getting into deep doo-doo in a National Park is a guy thing. Nearly two out of three rescues involved men who got themselves into problems on dayhikes or while boating through poor judgment, improper equipment, fatigue and injury.
