Overview
- Footage recorded by Brittany Peteler and widely shared online shows a bison run after a child who ran away and escape without injury.
- Park officials remind visitors that bison are unpredictable, can reach about 35 mph, and have caused more injuries in Yellowstone than any other animal.
- This episode follows a series of summer run‑ins that included a July attack in which 65‑year‑old Carl Isom‑McDaniel was thrown and sustained multiple broken bones and surgery.
- Yellowstone rangers say they are monitoring animals involved in recent encounters and continuing investigations into the more serious July incidents.
- The videos have renewed pressure on the park to step up visitor education and enforcement of the 25‑yard rule as managers weigh whether further measures are needed to protect people and wildlife.
