According to the National Park Service, the woman’s injuries were not life-threatening, and she was taken to a hospital in Cody, Wyoming.

The mother and her daughter unintentionally approached the bison as they were making their way back to their car at the trailhead, which prompted the male bison to charge, according to a news release from the National Park Service.

In the Wyoming section of the park, on Yellowstone Lake at Storm Point, the occurrence took place.

The Park Service stated that bison are “wild and unpredictable” and suggested that people should maintain a distance of at least 25 yards from the animals.

According to the National Park Service, approaching bison pose a threat and may react by bluff charging, head bobbing, pawing, bellowing, or snorting.

These are the telltale signals that you are getting too close and will soon be charged.

Just a few days prior, a 34-year-old guy who was strolling next to a bison on a route was similarly gored.

Dramatic video of the incident shows the father save the youngster from the buffalo’s charging path, only to be run over by it.

Arm injuries were sustained by the man.

The Park issued a statement saying, “The male was walking with his family on a boardwalk when a bull bison charged the group.”

The bull bison persisted in charging and goring the male while the family members remained in the area.

And in May, a bison in Yellowstone National Park killed a 25-year-old woman when it gored her and killed her.

The woman had approached the animal despite clear warning signs in the area telling people to stay at least 25 yards away from dangerous species.

The out-of-state traveler came upon the bison as it was strolling close to a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just to the north of Old Faithful.

She approached the monster by 10 feet before it stabbed her with its horn and threw her into the air.

The woman subsequently passed away, according to park officials. The woman from Grove City, Ohio, also suffered additional wounds and a puncture wound.

After Yellowstone was devastated by unprecedented flooding that permanently rerouted rivers, swept away roads and bridges, and drowned adjacent communities in torrents of streaming water, visitors were just recently allowed to return.

When the floodwaters finally subsided, park officials opted to reopen it after only two weeks because they had earlier anticipated it would be closed for months while they repaired the damage.

Park officials cautioned visitors to be extra watchful for wild creatures that may have been displaced by the waters both during the storm and in the days that followed.
