Ohio for the win

(CNN)An Ohio woman was gored by a bison after she got within 10 feet of the animal in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, officials said.

The 25-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, suffered puncture wound and other injuries Monday after she approached a bison near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, park officials said in a news release.

"Consequently, the bison gored the woman and tossed her 10 feet into the air," the news release said.

"This is the first reported incident in 2022 of a visitor threatening a bison (getting too close to the animal) and the bison responding to the threat by goring the individual," officials said in the news release. "Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans."

Two other people were also within 25 feet of the same bison, according to the news release.
Park officials are reminding visitors to keep back more than 25 yards from large animals such as bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes -- and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.

The incident is under investigation.

I was at Jellystone last summer. People are dumb. Saw a family of four outside their car within 15 yards of a massive bison.

Bison charges at family of tourists, gores man in Yellowstone National Park

A 34-year-old Colorado man was gored by a charging bison in recently-reopened Yellowstone National Park Monday after heroically rescuing a child that was in the animal’s path.

The man, who was hospitalized from the attack, was walking with family members on a boardwalk near Giant Geyser at Old Faithful when a bison got dangerously close and charged at the group.

The family didn’t leave the area and the bison continued to charge and gored the man, according to Yellowstone National Park.

The man, from Colorado Springs, suffered an arm injury during the attack and was rushed to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Video of the attack shows the bison within a few feet of three adults and one child when it begins to charge, nearly striking the child.

The 34-year-old spots the boy in the bison’s path and quickly snatches him out of the line of attack. In doing so, he places himself between the child and the animal and is struck and lifted into the air by the bison’s horns, the video shows.

The man is the second Yellowstone visitor to be gored by a bison in about a month. A 25-year-old woman from Ohio approached a bison on May 30, leading it to charge, gore and toss her 10 feet into the air.

The woman was rushed to the hospital for a puncture wound and other injuries.

Park officials advise visitors to stay at least 75 feet away from large animals like bison, elk, moose and coyotes and 300 feet away from bears and wolves.

Bison are particularly unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans, according to Yellowstone.
