Bison are responsible for more injuries than any other animal at Yellowstone National Park, but some visitors still underestimate their speed and power. Photos are currently circulating on social media showing one family learning that lesson the hard way after straying too close to one of the animals during a hiking trip.
The first of the two pictures, posted on infamous Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone this week, shows a group of seven standing just off a trail, being charged by a bull that appears to have targeted an elderly woman. In the second picture, she has been knocked off her feet (hopefully unharmed) while the animal holds its tail aloft in a characteristically aggressive position, seemingly pawing the ground and liable to charge again.
