YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A man was gored by a bison on Tuesday when a large group of visitors approached the animal too closely within Yellowstone National Park, officials reported.

The 30-year-old, a resident of Randolph, New Jersey, received minor injuries during the incident which occurred around 9:45 a.m. in the Old Faithful area, as stated by the park authorities.

The park officials did not disclose the man’s name or his condition, noting that the incident is under investigation and no additional information is available at this time.

He was the second person gored by a bison already this spring in Yellowstone. A 47-year-old Cape Coral, Florida, man had minor injuries after being gored in the Lake Village area May 7.

Bison gored at least two people in Yellowstone last year including an 83-year-old South Carolina woman who was seriously injured. A bison gored an Arizona woman in the park in 2023.

Yellowstone bison injured two people in 2022.

Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other wild animal. They can run up to 35 mph, faster than the men’s world record in the 100-meter dash.

Standing up to 6 feet tall and weighing up to 2,000 pounds, they are North America’s biggest land animal.

Park regulations require visitors to keep at least 25 yards away from bison and other large herbivores and 100 yards away from wolves and bears.
