A woman was gored by a bull bison at Yellowstone National Park, making her the second person this week attacked by a bison.
A 71-year-old woman was gored by a bull bison at Yellowstone National Park, making her the third person attacked by a bison at the park this year.
The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was sent to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyoming. Yellowstone officials warned that people should stay over 25 yards away from bison and other large animals at the park and give them space near campsites, trails and boardwalks. Bison are threatened when approached and may issue warnings, such as head bobbing, pawing and snorting, when you're too close. Officials add that people should not hold their ground and should run away from bison immediately.
