NextImg:Bison gores woman at Yellowstone National Park

An Arizona woman was rushed to the hospital on Monday after she was gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park.

The incident occurred in the morning near the Lake Lodge Cabins on the north shore of Yellowstone Lake, according to a release by the park.

"The female was walking with another individual in a field in front of the Lake Lodge when they saw two bison. Upon seeing them, the visitors turned to walk away from the bison. One of the bison charged and gored the woman," the release read.

She suffered "significant injuries to her chest and abdomen and was transported by helicopter to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center," the release added.

It has not been confirmed how close the people were to the animal when it attacked, but the park states people should stay more than 25 yards away from bison.

"When an animal is near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, give it space. Stay more than 25 yards (23 m) away from all large animals — bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes — and at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in proximity," according to the release.

"During mating season (rut) from mid-July through mid-August, bison can become agitated more quickly. Use extra caution and give them additional space during this time."

The incident is still under investigation, and it is the first since June 28, 2022.
