Here we go again.
A man at Yellowstone National Park was lifted about eight feet into the air by an obviously agitated bison. The animal launched him into space with a simple headbutt.
If you watch the video, you can see that the man was trying to keep a distance from the animal, it just wasn’t enough.
Cowboy State Daily has details on the incident:
A man was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by an angry bull bison in Yellowstone National Park.
Mike MacLeod, a professional photographer from Bozeman, Montana, said the incident happened at the Bridge Bay Campground, south of Fishing Bridge.
MacLeod said the man was walking with his grandson when the agitated bison made them the targets of its aggression.
“I was just trying to get some dramatic footage of that bison having a fit,” he told Cowboy State Daily. “It’s changed my idea of what to expect from these guys at this time of year, because I would not have predicted that happening.”
The National Park Service has not released any information on the incident.
MacLeod said the bison kept running through the campground, while people occupants yelled and screamed at each other to alert one another to the threat. After a while, the bison found a patch of dirt to wallow in.
Then, the victim appeared. He had no idea what was about to happen.
“They weren’t even in that camping loop,” McLeod said. “They were walking along the road, quite a ways away from the bison, and it started running at them.”
The video is only about a minute long and there’s no audio. Stay with it to the end:
This seems to happen a few times a year, no matter how many times park officials warn people to stay far away from these animals.
They’re wild animals, they’re unpredictable, and they weigh almost as much as your car. Stay away from them.
