It was Yellowstone’s second reported incident this year of a visitor getting too close to the animal, and the bison “responding to the perceived threat,” officials said.
When family members did not leave the area, the animal "continued to charge and gored the male."

Yellowstone National Park, located in mostly Wyoming, as well as parts of Montana and Idaho, has over 10,000 hydrothermal sites and half the world's active geysers, according to NPS. It also has abundant wildlife, including 67 species of mammals — such as bison, elk, bears, wolves and more.
Visitors should stay more than 25 yards away from all large animals, including elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes, and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
