A 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, experienced minor injuries after being gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park on June 10. The incident took place around 9:45 a.m. in the Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful after visitors approached the animal too closely. Emergency medical personnel swiftly intervened to treat the man and transport him to safety.
This incident marks the second bison-related injury recorded in Yellowstone this year, following another occurrence on May 7. In contrast, the park saw two such incidents in 2024 and one in 2023, raising ongoing concerns regarding visitor safety in wildlife areas.

Yellowstone officials continue to stress the importance of adhering to safety guidelines around wild animals. They recommend keeping a distance of at least 25 yards from large animals such as bison, elk, and moose, and maintaining a safe distance of at least 100 yards from bears, wolves, and cougars. Bison are notably unpredictable and can exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened.
In light of the incidents this year, it serves as a reminder for visitors to respect wildlife and keep a safe distance while enjoying the park’s natural beauty. Safety measures are crucial for both visitors and the animals themselves as they coexist in these treasured landscapes.
