"Yellowstone Bison Attack: A Rare but Daring Encounter. For the first time in 2026, a visitor to America's iconic Yellowstone National Park has found themselves on the receiving end of a bison charge. The incident marks a rare but potentially serious encounter between humans and the park's majestic but unpredictable wildlife. With over 4,000 bison roaming the park's vast wilderness, visitors are reminded to maintain a safe distance and respect the boundaries of these powerful creatures, which can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and reach speeds of 30 miles per hour."
This is the first reported bison attack in Yellowstone so far in 2026.
