In May, a video circulated on social media capturing a harrowing incident in Yellowstone National Park, where a bison nearly attacked and potentially gored a tourist to death.
The footage, attributed to Russ Bjorn, depicts a woman extending her hand towards a bison near a pathway within the renowned U.S. national park. Strangely positioned at the rear of a group of individuals, she inexplicably decided to attempt petting the massive wild animal.
Initially, it appears as though the bison might allow her to pet it, but suddenly, it abruptly charges towards her. It remains unclear whether the animal made contact or attacked the woman, but she is forcefully propelled backward in an attempt to evade potential goring.
