The family members did not leave the area and the bison charged, goring the 34-year-old father as he shielded his family.

“Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park are wild and can be dangerous when approached,” the National Park Service said in a statement. “When an animal is near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, give it space. Stay more than 25 yards (23 m) away from all large animals – bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes – and at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in proximity.”
“Bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans,” the park added.
At the beginning of the month, a 25-year-old Ohio woman died after being stabbed by a bison.
