Bison Gores Man in Yellowstone National Park [View all]

The man, who had approached the animal, sustained minor injuries.

A bison gored a man in Yellowstone National Park on Sunday after the man approached the animal, according to the National Park Service.

The man, 47, who is from Cape Coral, Fla., sustained minor injuries and was treated by emergency medical staff. The incident, which is under investigation, is the fourth bison-related injury in the park since 2023 and the first this year.

Last year, an 83-year-old woman from South Carolina sustained serious injuries after being lifted about a foot off the ground by a bison’s horns.

Just months prior, a 40-year-old man, who was under the influence of alcohol, was injured after he harassed a herd of bison and kicked one of the animals in the leg.

Is there some "Pet the Bison" challenge out there on social media?

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump opened up bison hunting season at Yellowstone.
