Grandfather Recovering After Violent Bison Attack at Yellowstone National Park

This video details a recent bison attack in Yellowstone National Park involving a 65-year-old grandfather who was charged, hooked, and flipped into the air. The entire incident was caught on camera and intervened in by Mike MacLeod, an on-scene camper who happens to be a wildlife biologist. --- ### The Incident Breakdown The attack occurred on a Friday at a Yellowstone campground. According to MacLeod’s eyewitness account and camera footage: * **The Approach:** The grandfather and another family member were walking along the perimeter road of the campground when a large bison approached. * **The Retreat:** Recognizing the danger, the grandfather immediately said, *"We're out of here, let's go,"* and the pair attempted to back away and use nearby trees as a physical barrier. * **The Charge:** After a white pickup truck drove past, the bison suddenly sprang up and aggressively charged the pair. * **The Attack:** The bison pursued them around the trees. On its second loop, it caught up to the grandfather, hooked him with its horns, and flipped him directly into the air, leaving him immobile on the ground. --- ### The Rescue & Medical Status Once the victim was down, MacLeod dropped his camera to lead an immediate emergency intervention: * **Hazing the Bison:** MacLeod ran toward the animal, screaming, shouting, and holding his camera gear high in the air to look larger. A group of other men in the campground joined him, successfully "hazing" (scaring off) the bison before it could inflict further injuries. * **Medical Response:** Park emergency services arrived on the scene within 10 minutes. * **Current Status:** MacLeod has remained in touch with the victim's family, confirming that the grandfather survived the encounter, underwent surgery, and is currently recovering in the hospital. --- ### Biological Context & Park Safety Rules Yellowstone officials and MacLeod highlighted the specific behavioral factors that drove the attack: > **The Breeding Season Factor:** MacLeod noted that the attack occurred right at the start of the bison breeding season (the rut). During this period, male bison experience spikes in testosterone and are naturally far more aggressive, unpredictable, and easily agitated as they compete for dominance. | Factor | Yellowstone Bison Statistics & Rules | | --- | --- | | **Size & Speed** | Mature bison can weigh up to **2,000 pounds** and can sprint at speeds up to **35 mph**—three times faster than a human can run. | | **Required Distance** | National Park Service regulations strictly mandate that visitors stay at least **25 yards (75 feet)** away from bison at all times. | | **Biologist's Take** | While park officials note that bison usually only attack when intentionally crowded or threatened, MacLeod stated that this specific pair actually tried to do everything right by immediately retreating, proving how volatile the animals become during the rut. This marks the second documented bison attack in Yellowstone this year. |
