On Tuesday morning, June 10 a 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey was injured by a bison in Yellowstone National Park.
A large group of visitors approached the bison too closely at the Upper Geyser Basin at Old Faithful, according to a press release from the park. The release urged visitors to maintain safe distance from animals to prevent aggressive attacks: more than 25 yards from large animals such as bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes; and at least 100 yards away from bears, wolves and cougars or mountain lions.
“The individual sustained minor injuries and was treated and transported by emergency medical personnel. The incident is currently under investigation, and no further details are available at this time,” the release stated.
This is the second reported incident of a person injured by a bison in 2025. The first occurred on May 7. There were two reported incidents in 2024 and one in 2023.
