Park staff said in the news release that wildlife in Yellowstone National Park can be dangerous when approached.
When an animal is near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, give it space.
Stay more than 75 feet away from all large animals - bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes - and at least 300 feet away from bears and wolves.
If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in proximity.
During mating season (rut) from mid-July through mid-August, bison can become agitated more quickly. Use extra caution and give them additional space during this time.
Bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.
