A man was gored by a bull bison on Monday, making him the second to be attacked at Yellowstone National Park in June alone.
The 34-year-old sustained an arm injury and was taken to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center by ambulance.
Yellowstone Bison-Man GoredAccording to a press release, “The male was walking with his family on a boardwalk when a bull bison charged the group.” When the family did not vacate, the bison continued charging toward them and ultimately gored the man.

The event occurred near Giant Geyser at Old Faithful, the release added.
The National Park Service said that the incident is still under investigation.
“Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park are wild and can be dangerous when approached,” it warned. “Stay more than 25 yards (23 m) away from all large animals – bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes – and at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in proximity.”
According to the NPS, Bison can run up to three times faster than human beings.
In May, a woman was similarly gored by a bison at Yellowstone. The 25-year-old had gotten within 10 feet of the animal, closer than visitors are instructed, and the bison gored her, sending her flying into the air.
