Man reportedly seriously injured by the bison, described as ‘agitated’ and ‘charging anything’ by photographer An enraged, 2,000lb (900kg) bull bison hooked a tourist and tossed him 8ft into the air at a campsite in Wyoming’s Yellowstone national park on Friday – an encounter captured by a professional photographer who said the animal was “agitated, pissed off and charging anything and everything”. The tourist was reported to be seriously injured by the male bison while walking with his grandson through the Bridge Bay campground, south of Fishing Bridge.

Honestly I don't think that the grandfather or child was out of bounds here. I've seen plenty of tourists get way closer to dangerous animals before. That bison was just an asshole. It seemed to be provoked by the pickup-truck and just started rampaging.

They may not have observed regulation distance, but they did not approach or do anything to provoke the animal. The tourists were just in the wrong place/ time.

National Park Service agrees with you on this one - they said the man and his grandson didn't do anything wrong, it was just bad luck and an agitated bull.

I’m surprised the National Park Service said that. When I visited the Canadian Rockies years ago I clearly recall seeing signs that showed how far, in terms of school bus lengths, to stay away from wildlife. The signs were easy to understand even if you didn’t speak or read English.

For smaller wildlife it was just one or two school bus lengths. For things like foxes & coyotes I think it was closer to 5. For bear, caribou, moose, etc. it was 10+. I’d personally lump bison/buffalo into that 10+ category as well, and I don’t think those two were any where near that far away..

In Yellowstone they say stay 200 ft away, not 25 yards like the commenter on the video says.

With a little practice, synchronization, country-rap theming, and venture capital, I'm thinking BisonWorld- Acrobatics on the LoneRange could be the next lucrative showstopper.

Terrifying. They tried hiding in the trees but that bull was out for blood.

Hide and seek gone very wrong.
