A 30-year-old man from Randolph Township in Morris County was injured on June 10 after being gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park, according to the National Park Service.
The incident happened around 9:45 a.m. in the Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful. A large group of visitors had approached the animal too closely when the bison charged, goring the man.
He sustained minor injuries and was treated and transported by emergency medical personnel. His name has not been released. The incident remains under investigation, and no additional details have been provided.
This marks the second bison-related injury reported in Yellowstone in 2025. The first occurred on May 7. There were two similar incidents reported in 2024 and one in 2023.
Park officials continue to remind visitors that Yellowstone’s wildlife is wild and potentially dangerous. Visitors are required to stay at least 25 yards away from large animals such as bison, elk, and moose, and at least 100 yards from predators like bears and wolves. Bison have injured more people in the park than any other animal and can run up to three times faster than humans.
The National Park Service urges visitors to respect wildlife boundaries to help keep both people and animals safe.
