Having been around bison my entire life, I can tell you that this sort of thing does not happen if you are exercising proper caution.

It takes years of experience. Do not blame your ignorance for the animals behavior.

Thus…it’s even harder to get fired in Yellowstone bc they are used to being right up on you. This lady was not being careful and was not 60 yrs away. She had to be trying to pet it to have this happen.

I think many people truly don’t realize just how wild Yellowstone National Park is. There’s danger pretty much all around you. Just bc it’s called, “a park,” doesn’t mean it idyllic & safe. There’s a lot of things in the park that can kill you, from wild animals, to the terrain, & the elements. I’ve been there 3x (also hiked in the Grand Tetons (grizzlies, moose, cougars, wolves, etc). When I’m out in “the wild,” I think of it like driving a motorcycle. You have to be looking around constantly, & be overly cautious. I’m sorry that happened to that woman. I’m glad she survived.

The bison needs to lawyer up. This sounds like slander

[@kt114]

2 collapsed lungs sounds horrific. I can’t even imagine how scary that must’ve been struggling to breathe. 😬

[@calilovebug3897]

If you can see a bison at a mile away, you go back in the house. She was very close to the animal.

[@pamelaliegh]

$100 says she was too close trying to get a Bison selfie. Her long recovery is plenty of time for her to consider her actions.

[@brianwoods9266]

Considering the fact that the bison did attack, it is difficult to believe that the couple gave enough space to the bison. The ranger rule is to give a bison 100 feet of space. The man in the interview said that at one point they were less than 30 yards away.

I have been right up to a Bison by accident to the point we could have touched it. We did not see it until was came over the hill. But we simply walked back. I feel sometimes you take photos and your attention span is shortened. You don’t realize just how quick these animals are and how easily it is to get surprised by them. It is part of dangers when getting close to wild life. Bison have every reason to fear people.

[@debbipacker4215]

These bison are sick and tired of people. Everytime someone does something stupid a bison dies for it.

[@kathyallen1895]

They die anyway. They are raised for meat.

[@suzanroggendorf9464]

They blame it on the animal and not the people antagonizing the bison. Just like running with the bulls, over in Spain??)(if this a true event) Move over people because they will hurt you. Not a petting zoo to say the least. So sometimes (a lot) that people are idiots and animals are the best

[@wth......53]

You know what I talked to the bison the other day and he said the exact same thing you said! Grrrrrr

[@dianecraig1119]

When I hear of a tragedy like this, I’m reminded how at a buffalo reserve I just visited in Montana, where, despite signs all over to stay in your car, car after car had people getting out and taking pictures, and toddlers were hanging out windows. The Yellowstone people tried to do the right thing, and were still attacked, but I’m amazed how many people think they’re perfectly safe. I’m told those huge beasts can run 35 mph…how fast can YOU RUN?!?

[@user-zp7jp1vk2i]

ever seen those Grizzly videos of \Yellowstone??? They're doing Mach after that elk calf. but no worries. Wolves get all the blame.

[@lucycarbajal9979]

@dianecrai...I'm happy the toddlers didn't fall out of the cars but those parents are irresponsible.

You’re probably the only person who believes that man was telling the truth. Anyone who lives near bison can tell you that doesn’t happen if they were really doing what the guy said they were doing.

Bison that was 60 yards away was charging at her and she just stood there? I doubt that. She must have been 8-10 ft away from Bison. Anyways, I hope she gets well soon .Wishing her luck.

[@michelletrimmer7431]

As big as they are, they can run at 35 mph. That's pretty quick.

In that area, you can hear everything for a long ways off. I think they might have been too loud.

[@unbreakable7633]

They call them "wild animals" for a reason. When you enter a natural environment, you have to be aware of these critters and you are assuming the risk of such encounters. Unlike a lot of animal encounters in national parks, at least these people knew the danger and tried to avoid it but the risk cannot be fully mitigated in such situations.

Dear god in heaven let this woman be fully healed! While this is tragic and awful it’s hard to believe they were truly maintaining a safe distance. The distance he has quoted is sufficient yet this happened. I’m suspecting this is a filtered version of events. People are not having enough respect for wildlife and this can be the outcome.

[@michellegoodrich7115]

Actually, the "Indians" aka Native Americans killed millions of bison, often just for the tongue and hump, leaving the remains to rot in the sun. They would run them over cliffs to their deaths.

​@@michellegoodrich7115liar! You would say anything to use as evidence that your people tamed the "savages"(that's the term you really wanted to use)! The natives respected nature to the point that they felt obligated to use every part of every bison killed. Yes, they ate the tongue; but, they used the skin and every other part too. Colonial liar!!

Ill translate for the guy "she got too close and when I was screaming at her to move her a** she was too slow and the bison got her and flipped her in the air!" Thats really what happened. Stop blaming bison for doing bison stuff.

[@gcruishank9663]

I hate to be negative towards anyone who's suffering, but 25-30 yards away from a bison? Did they stumble upon this animal coming around a corner? Bison are usually in more open spaces but, hey, I wasn't there.

[@joanjenny2555]

Wake up this is not the season to be a tourist in the wild. When birds, animals are mating, the sun is blaring and the energy is intense who wants the smell and sight of humans in the mix. Humans are so arrogant and disrespectful to the wild species. It is a miracle she is not dead!! This month I was walking in an area that although there are some wild animals around the place I was walking is a shopping village. Out of nowhere, never heard a sound very early in the morning, and suddenly I was hit on the side of my head so hard by a crow I thought it was a piece of furniture had fallen from the apartment above. Had me in bed for 2 days. Respect the wild particularly during nesting season and the deep heat. Peace to the World.

If they had just left their lodge, why not turn and go back there? Why continue walking past the bison? 25 feet is pretty close. You would think people would know by now how dangerous the bison can be.

Stay clear, be vigilant, watch for animals, better yet, stay in your car.

That 25 yard limit is the reason folks get trampled and gored, they think the bison know how to read…it needs to be 100 yards or more.

Our van was attacked by a bison while maneuvering around him on the road in Yellowstone a week and a half ago. I was following in a second vehicle and the FORCE those animals have is incredible. We have a big dent and scratch to the metal from it’s horn. We pulled over when we were a safe distance and park workers that saw the attack stopped as well. They said it is their rut season so they are more aggressive. I’m just thankful it wasn’t a motorcyclist going around him at that point! So sorry for this woman and I can attest to how aggressive they are right now!
