Florida Man Gored by Bison in Yellowstone National Park

A 47-year-old man from Cape Coral, Florida, was gored by a bison after approaching it too closely in Yellowstone National Park's Lake Village area on May 4, 2025. The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m., and the man sustained minor injuries, receiving treatment from emergency medical personnel. This marks the first reported bison-related injury in the park for 2025, with previous years seeing similar incidents. Park officials emphasize that bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal and remind visitors to maintain at least 25 yards distance from large animals like bison. Bison are unpredictable and can run much faster than humans, making close encounters especially dangerous. The incident is under investigation, and no further details are currently available.
