Coming on the heels of two attacks by female elks, a California woman got too close to a Yellowstone National Park bison and got herself gored.
Fox News reported:
A California woman was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday, park officials said.
Kim Hancock, 59, of Santa Rosa, was in a crowd of people walking along a boardwalk at Fountain Paint Pot in the Lower Geyser Basin when the attack occurred, according to a statement from Yellowstone.
People in the crowd got increasingly close to the animal, according to park officials, saying “at one point, people were closer than 15 feet from the bison.” The statement noted that people should keep a distance of roughly 75 feet at least from certain animals including bison and elk, and stay even further away from bears and wolves.
