The woman was reportedly walking with another person in a field near the north shore of Lake Yellowstone when they saw two bison.
A 47-year-old was flown to a hospital in Idaho after being gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park.
Officials said the woman suffered"significant injuries to her chest and abdomen" during the attack on Monday. "Upon seeing them, the visitors turned to walk away from the bison," the Park Service said."One of the bison charged and gored the woman."It's unclear how close the visitors were to the the bison before the attack occurred. It's currently mating season for bison, which officials say can cause them to become agitated more quickly.
This was the first time a bison has gored a person at Yellowstone this year. The last reported incident occurred on June 28, 2022.In May, a man was charged for interfering with wildlife after he pulled a newborn bison from a river. The calf was euthanized after being rejected by its herd and roaming near vehicles.
In a separate incident, park officials said visitors placed an elk calf in their car and dropped it off at a police station for unknown reasons.
