Reports from Yellowstone National Park describe an incident in which a young family moves too close to an angry bison and is startled by the animal. According to the accounts, the bison reacts aggressively and chases a child along a park pathway, prompting panic within the group. Footage referenced by outlets shows the child and family moving quickly as the bison follows nearby rather than remaining at a safe distance.
The reports also note the timing in relation to a separate earlier incident in the park, in which a bison threw an elderly man into the air. While that earlier episode is cited for context, the described event focuses on the family’s proximity to the bison and the resulting chase of a child down the Yellowstone pathway.
All accounts emphasize that bison behavior changes can be unpredictable and that approaching wildlife closely can lead to dangerous encounters, particularly when the animal appears agitated.
