An Edinburgh University student has been in hospital in America for almost two months after being attacked by a wild bison while hiking on a month-long road trip.
Mia Dean, who was due to start studying in the capital in September, was only on the second day of the planned trip across the USA with a friend and his wolf-dog when they came across a large, male bison in the middle of their path after climbing a hill in Custer State Park, South Dakota.
After appearing unbothered by their presence, the bison suddenly stopped grazing, looked up and charged towards Mia.
