Tourist Seriously Injured After Bull Bison Charges at Yellowstone National Park
A 65-year-old tourist was seriously injured after a bull bison charged and tossed him about eight feet into the air at Yellowstone National Park's Bridge Bay Campground. The man was walking with his grandson and had maintained a distance of approximately 100 yards from the animal, which had previously charged at other visitors. Witnesses, including photographer Mike MacLeod, reported the bison's aggressive behavior and noted that a passing vehicle may have triggered the attack. The incident underscores the importance of maintaining safe distances from wildlife in the park.
