NJ Man Approaches Wild Bison, Gets Usual Result

Via press release from the National Park Service:

On June 10, a 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, was injured by a bison in Yellowstone National Park.

At approximately 9:45 a.m. in the Upper Geyser Basin at Old Faithful, a man was gored by a bison after a large group of visitors approached it too closely. The individual was treated and transported by emergency medical personnel.

The incident is currently under investigation, and no further details are available at this time. There are no photos or videos of this incident to share.

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.

Bison will defend their space when threatened and have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.
