   A 72-year-old California woman was gored by a bison in   
   Yellowstone National Park, a news release from the park said.   
      
   The woman approached the bison to take a picture and got within   
   10 feet of it multiple times before it gored her on June 25,   
   according to the release.   
      
   She sustained multiple goring wounds and was treated by rangers   
   before being flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center for   
   further treatment.   
      
   The news release said the woman approached the bison several   
   times near her campsite at Bridge Bay Campground in northwest   
   Wyoming before the bison charged.   
      
   “The series of events that led to the goring suggest the bison   
   was threatened by being repeatedly approached to within 10   
   feet,” Yellowstone’s senior bison biologist Chris Geremia said   
   in the release.   
      
   “Bison are wild animals that respond to threats by displaying   
   aggressive behaviors like pawing the ground, snorting, bobbing   
   their head, bellowing, and raising their tail. If that doesn’t   
   make the threat (in this instance it was a person) move away, a   
   threatened bison may charge,” Geremia added. “To be safe around   
   bison, stay at least 25 yards away, move away if they approach,   
   and run away or find cover if they charge.”   
      
   The attack serves as a reminder that “wildlife in Yellowstone   
   National Park are wild,” the release said.   
   Park visitors must stay 25 yards away from all large animals in   
   the park including bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and   
   coyotes, the release said. If people encounter bears and wolves   
   they should stay 100 yards away.   
      
   Another woman was also gored at the park in late May only days   
   after the park reopened to visitors following a closure for   
   coronavirus.
