Tourist Knocked Down by Bison in Poland’s Białowieża Forest After Approaching Too Closely
In Poland's Białowieża Forest, a tourist approached a wild European bison too closely, within about 13 to 20 feet, prompting the animal to charge and knock him to the ground. The bison stood calmly over the man, who was advised to remain still to avoid further aggression. Nature photographer Grzegorz Ryński intervened by driving his car nearby, allowing the tourist to safely escape. Witnesses noted the man sustained minor injuries. Authorities warn visitors to maintain a safe distance from wild bison to prevent such incidents.
