A man was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown eight feet into the air by an angry bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. It’s a terrifying reminder of how quickly these massive animals can turn from peaceful grazers into a major threat. According to Cowboy State Daily, the incident occurred at the Bridge Bay Campground, located south of Fishing Bridge.
Mike MacLeod, a professional photographer based in Bozeman, Montana, reportedly witnessed the event firsthand. He had been filming the bull and captured the entire event on video. He told the outlet that the victim was walking with his grandson, about 100 yards away from the bison, when it decided to make them the targets of its aggression.
