The 25-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, suffered puncture wound and other injuries Monday after she approached a bison near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin
By Paradise Afshar and Kaylene Chassie, CNN An Ohio woman was gored by a bison after she got within 10 feet of the animal in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, officials said."Consequently, the bison gored the woman and tossed her 10 feet into the air," the news release said.
Park emergency medical providers responded and the woman was taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center by ambulance, officials said. "This is the first reported incident in 2022 of a visitor threatening a bison and the bison responding to the threat by goring the individual," officials said in the news release."Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans."
