Daily News | West Chester woman gored by bison in Yellowstone National Park
The pair were returning to their vehicle near Storm Point at Yellowstone Lake when they “inadvertently approached” a bull bison, which caused the animal to charge them, authorities said.
The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was treated at West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyo. The incident is currently under investigation. It is not clear how close the woman and her daughter got to the bison before the animal charged. Park officials said that visitors should stay more than 25 yards away from all large animals in the park, including elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, coyotes, and bison.
“Approaching bison threatens them and they may respond by bluff charging, head bobbing, pawing, bellowing, or snorting,” the Park Service said. “These are warning signs that you are too close and that a charge is imminent.”
