Ground wire exposed

I pretty sure this is normal to have the negative ground cable slightly exposed on the end before the actual connection, is there a reason for this? Can i just put electrical tape on it so it's not exposed?

Re: Ground wire exposed

Exposed ground wires are A-okay.....they connect to the steel body and engine/trans anyway.
