In a frightening incident at Yellowstone National Park, a grandfather was attacked by a charging bison while on a walk with his grandson. The grandfather was thrown 8 feet into the air and seriously injured, but fortunately, he is expected to recover from his injuries. The incident was captured on video by a professional photographer who was in the area, and it has been widely shared online.
The video footage shows the grandfather and his grandson stopping to take photos of the bison, which can weigh over 1,500 pounds. However, the bison suddenly became aggressive and started chasing them around trees. The grandfather was thrown into the air, and his grandson was lucky to escape unharmed. Another video shows the bison running past tents at a campsite before the incident, highlighting the danger posed by the park's wildlife. This is not the first time a bison has charged at tourists in Yellowstone, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping a safe distance from these powerful animals.
The grandfather is currently in the hospital recovering from his injuries. Yellowstone National Park has warned visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from bison at all times and to retreat immediately if they feel threatened. The park is taking steps to ensure visitor safety and prevent any future incidents with wildlife, and visitors are advised to be aware of their surroundings and to keep a safe distance from bison and other wild animals.
