Yellowstone Bison Gores Tourist; Respect Wildlife Boundaries
A 30-year-old New Jersey man sustained minor injuries after being gored by a bison in Yellowstone’s Old Faithful area on Tuesday, marking the second such incident this spring. This follows a similar incident involving a Florida man in May and multiple other bison-related injuries in recent years, highlighting the ongoing danger posed by approaching wildlife. Bison, the park’s most dangerous animal, are capable of high speeds and significant force. The incident underscores the importance of adhering to park regulations mandating a minimum 25-yard distance from bison and other large herbivores.
