Man Injured by Bison After Group Approaches Too Closely at Yellowstone

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. — A 30-year-old man from New Jersey was injured by a bison on Tuesday in Yellowstone National Park’s Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful.

Park officials say the animal gored the man after a group of visitors got too close.

He sustained minor injuries and was treated on site.

This is the second bison-related injury in the park this year.

Officials remind visitors to stay at least 25 yards from large animals and use caution when viewing wildlife.

The incident remains under investigation.
