In the aftermath of two recent bison attacks in Yellowstone National Park, some might be wondering if the park has a bison problem. But perhaps a better question is whether Yellowstone’s roughly 5,400 bison might have a people problem?
As in, people constantly violating the park’s 25-yard minimum-distance regulation, or failing to move out of the way when bison are close.
The first incident occurred May 30, involving a 25-year-old woman who was tossed into the air after approaching within 10 feet of a bison.
