A massive bull bison tossed a tourist into the air, seriously injuring him, in a heart-pounding caught-on-camera attack at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
Video shows the unidentified man being thrown 8 feet in the air like a ragdoll by the wild bison at the Bridge Bay Campground Friday, Cowboy State Daily reported.
The tourist was walking with his grandson when the powerful herbivore attacked.
Video shows the man running around a copse of pines to try to escape the bull, which was giving itself a dust bath moments earlier.
The bison suddenly charged the two tourists, and then viciously head-butted the older bearded man — catapulting him into the air.

Mess with the bull, get the horns?
Maybe they should have obtained a signed model release form first.
O’Bozo should have been proud when that rodeo clown imitated him. Instead, the moron threw a tantrum and got the clown fired. Africans hate being “dissed”. Cry babies.
A bull, in Spain did that to my mother when she had the temerity to cross his field without so much as a “by your leave” Bulls are like that.
Looks like a campground.
The guy looked like the Bison’s old boss; Mr Mcreedy.
I really think it was that silly beard. It triggered a rival male response in the bison. I really think that. The moral of the story is to shave or trim your beard.
Don’t do the Rip Van Winkle 2 foot beard in Yellowstone.
Time to turn it into bison meat.
I’ve been to Yellowstone and a few other places with bison. Those two were a lot closer to bison than I’ve ever willingly been. Stopping to get photos probably provoked the bull. Wild animals generally don’t like being stared at.
Just protecting his house.
I was in a van 6 feet from a group of Bisons. They came up on us. We stayed in the van. A moment later they were 2 miles away. They are super fast. And super big. I talked to a nearby rancher who said, they regularly flip cars and trucks.
He wasn’t doing anything stupid. Just walking by at a distance.
The guy was an idiot.
What does this photoshopped picture have to do with anything
But they look so cute and pettable.
A rarity, certainly.
Do not pet the fuzzy cows.
