YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyoming – An 83-year-old woman was injured and seriously injured by a bison in Yellowstone National Park.
The Greenville, South Carolina, woman was near the Storm Point Trail at Yellowstone Lake on Saturday when the bison lifted her about a foot off the ground with its horns, park officials said in a statement.
The woman suffered serious injuries and was taken to a medical clinic in the park and then flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
No other information about the woman or her condition has been released.
Officials said the bison was defending its space. The attack is being investigated.
Yellowstone requires people to stay at least 75 feet away from all large animals, including bison, elk, deer and elk, and at least 300 feet away from bears and wolves.
A bison gored and seriously injured an Arizona woman in the park in 2023. Bison injured two people in the park in 2022.
