The 25-year-old Ohio woman got within 10 feet of the bison before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet into the air. She sustained a puncture wound and other injuries.
A bison leads her calf through deep snow toward a road in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., on Feb. 20, 2021. On Monday, a bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone when she got within 10 feet of the animal. The bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, when the woman approached it on Monday, according to a park statement. She got within 10 feet before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet into the air.
Park officials say it's the first reported bison goring this year. The park statement said bison are unpredictable, have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal and can run three times faster than humans. Park regulations require visitors to remain more than 25 yards away from bison. The park statement said two other people were also within 25 yards of the same bison.
