YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A 25-year-old Grove City woman was gored >and tossed into the air by a bison at Yellowstone National Park over the >Memorial Day weekend.
The woman, who has not been identified, approached a bison Monday morning
and got within 10 feet of the animal. Two other people were also within 25 >yards of the same bison, according to a release from Yellowstone
As the bison walked near a boardwalk, the woman approached it. The bison
then gored and tossed her 10 feet into the air.
The woman suffered a puncture wound and other injuries. She was taken to a >medical center in Idaho. Her condition was not immediately available.
Yellowstone officials say wildlife animals can be dangerous when they are >approached. Those who visit the park say to stay more than 25 yards away
from all large animals like bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and >coyotes. People should stay at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
This was the first reported incident in 2022 of someone getting too close
to a bison and goring the person.
Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal and
can run three times faster than humans.
