Episode Details

A 65-year-old man, Carl McDaniel, was charged and tossed by a bison in Yellowstone, breaking multiple bones—though he insists the agony came from the brutal landing, not the charge itself. The massive, seemingly calm animal, capable of 35 mph and weighing up to 2,000 pounds, ambushed him while he walked with his grandson near Bridge Bay Campground. McDaniel’s hospital video reveals the bison only turned aggressive once it locked onto him, leaving his grandson unharmed. Park records note a few such attacks annually—rare but real—reminding visitors to always keep their distance. McDaniel’s doctor confirmed his injuries, but Carl’s own words underscore the shocking power and unpredictability of nature’s giants.
