A 25-year-old Ohio woman visiting Yellowstone was gored by a bison after getting within 10 feet of the animal, park officials said.
The woman approached the bison on Monday morning as it was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, the National Park Service. She got within 10 feet before the animal "gored her and tossed her 10 feet into the air."
Park regulations require visitors to stay more than 25 years away from the bison. The statement said two other people were also within 25 yards of the same bison. "Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans," officials said in the statement. An elderly woman trying to take a photo of a bison at Yellowstone National Park ended up hospitalized after the animal gored her.Yellowstone National Park, located in mostly Wyoming, as well as parts of Montana and Idaho, has over 10,000 hydrothermal sites and half the world's active geysers, according to NPS.
