A 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, sustained injuries after being gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park on June 10. The incident reportedly took place in the area of the park known for its high bison population. The man was immediately attended to by park rangers and was transported to a local hospital for further treatment.
The man’s current health status has not been disclosed. However, Yellowstone National Park officials have reiterated the importance of maintaining a safe distance from all wildlife within the park. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers posed by wildlife, even within protected areas.
Yellowstone National Park is home to a large bison population, and while they may seem docile, these animals are wild and can be unpredictable. The National Park Service advises visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from all large animals and at least 100 yards from bears and wolves.
