Bison 1, Tourists 0.
Millennial?
Gored?
Is that when somebody humps the leg of a masseuse?
I am pretty sure there are signs telling visitors not to approach the animals...
Play stupid games-win stupid prizes.
People shouldn’t even approach domestic cattle all Willy nilly.

Mess with the Bull you get the horn!
That is what they are saying but it is not true. A bison is already 10 feet long. It would not have time to get to “charging” speed in two steps. They are saying she got within 10 feet was gored. Within 10 feet means 9 feet. She was probably and most likely closer, like within touching distance. The beast would simply turn its head and lift upwards. The end.
There is a book title Death in Yellowstone that talks about Bison incidents. There have been lots of them. One guy wanted a picture and smacked a bison on the ass to get it to move to his preferred position. He was tossed up into a tree and lived to tell of it. I think his luck was that he stayed up in the tree.
We had a woman here in central Florida who was originally from New York. She pulled up to her driveway and their was a 400 pound bear at her front door. So she gets out of her car and recorded him from about 25 feet away until it ran off. When she showed people the video they freaked out and after a long discussion with her she realized what she had done and became traumatized by it. She sold her house and moved back to NY.
I hope that doesn’t mean the Buffalo was relocated or anything. He didn’t do anything wrong. The tourist did.
The down side, is it must have been hard for her family or friends to see that as it happened.
They probably had to stand still and wait for the Buffalo to move away on his own before the dead body could be safely collected.
Any dairy farmer knows that if a woman is having her period, the cows smell it and try to hump her.
If a 1,500 pound dairy cow mounts you, you are in trouble. If it’s a bull, forget it.
I know, milk cows are female. It doesn’t matter, they still do it.
Large animals, wild or domestic, can be deadly.
I know of two separate farmers who have been handling cattle all of their lives who have been severely injured by them recently and they didn’t need horns to do it.
True, Animal Science 101.
He thought she was a dwarf.
They would first determine if a bull was a lefty or a righty...meaning when the bull would dip their head to gore, they would use the left horn or the right. When the bull was fullly "head down" the dancer would step to the left or the right accordingly...grab the bull by the horns and be lifted to vault over the bull.
It must have been quite a sight.
I have that book (at least, the book that has that picture). Minoan ladies often went bare-breasted (at least they are depicted as such; I wasn’t around then, so I have to rely on books and frescoes).
We took a motorcycle tour to Yellowstone several years ago. A few miles into the Park we saw a bunch of tourists had parked their cars and were walking towards a stream. In the heavy brush there I saw a Moose Cow raise her head out of the and bellow. This only encourages the tourists to start snapping photos. Lucky for them there was no Moose calf around, else they would have learned the error of their ways.
We motored on. There are signs all over about approaching animals, but there are just too many morons around. Bison are especially skittish.
