Episode Details

A tourist was launched eight feet into the air by a bison in Yellowstone, suffering broken bones and surgery — his grandson escaped unharmed. Despite the violent attack, park officials are refusing to euthanize the bison, emphasizing that it’s a wild animal and no management action will be taken. The photographer says neither the tourist nor his grandson provoked the animal — it just attacked. Yellowstone is reminding visitors to stay at least 22 meters away, especially as the bison rut begins and bulls become more aggressive. Safety first: these massive, unpredictable animals can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and move fast.
