An 83-year-old South Carolina woman suffered serious injuries when a bison in Yellowstone National Park lifted her about a foot in the air with its horns.
An 83-year-old woman was seriously injured when she was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park over the weekend, the park said Monday.The park said the bison was 'defending its space' when it gored the South Carolina woman near the Storm Point Trail, which is located at the north end of Yellowstone Lake. The bison 'came within a few feet of the woman and lifted her about a foot off the ground with its horns,' the park said.
In April, an Idaho man suffered minor injuries when he was attacked by a bison in Yellowstone after he allegedly kicked it. He was later charged with being under the influence of alcohol, disorderly conduct, approaching wildlife and disturbing wildlife, the park said.Last year, a 47-year-old woman was gored by a bison not far from where this most recent incident took place. In 2022, a 25-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man were gored by bison near Old Faithful within weeks of each other.
