The woman, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, was taken to a hospital in Cody, Wyoming. The woman and her daughter “accidentally approached the bison as they were returning to their vehicle on the trail” near Storm Point on Yellowstone Lake, “causing the bull bison to charge,” the U.S. National Park Service said. Parks officials said: “This incident remains under investigation and there is no additional information to share.” On June 27, a 34-year-old man from Colorado was devoured by a bull bison around Giant Geyser in Old Faithful, injuring his hand. “The male was walking with his family on a sidewalk when a bison bull attacked the group,” said park officials. “The family members did not leave the area and the bison bull continued to charge and devour the male. A 25-year-old woman from Ohio was killed on May 30 after approaching a bison “at a distance of 10 meters”. He suffered multiple injuries, including a “puncture wound,” officials said. Two other people were 25 meters away from the bison in the May incident. The park regulations say that visitors must stay at a distance of more than 25 meters. “As the bison was walking near a sidewalk in the Black Sand Basin (just north of Old Faithful), the female, on the sidewalk, approached him,” officials said. “Therefore, the bison hit the woman and threw her 10 feet in the air. Authorities warn that “wildlife in Yellowstone National Park is wild and can be dangerous when approached. “When an animal is near a campsite, footpath, sidewalk, parking lot or in a developed area, give it space.” Officials advise visitors to keep more than 25 feet away from all large wildlife, including bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, elk and coyotes. They warn that visitors are at least 100 meters away from wolves and bears. “If necessary, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal nearby,” visitors are advised. “The bison is unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.”
