Woman injured after approaching bison in Yellowstone

[Teh One Who Knocks]

by NBC Montana Staff




MISSOULA, Mont. — Yellowstone National Park reopened this week, and already park workers are reporting a tourist injured by a bison.

Wednesday afternoon, a female visitor was knocked to the ground and injured by a bison in the Old Faithful Upper Geyser Basin after approaching the animal too closely.

Park workers responded immediately to assess the victim, who refused transport to a medical facility.

This is the first incident of a bison injuring a visitor in 2020, and it remains under investigation.

Visitors are reminded bison are wild and should not be approached closer than 25 yards.

She must have never seen the video of the little girl getting knocked around by one.

Isn't there some famous quote from a park ranger that goes something like "the difficult part of this job is that there's a significant overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bear and the dumbest tourists"
