A 65-year-old grandfather was tossed eight feet in the air by a bull bison at Yellowstone National Park’s Bridge Bay Campground. He sustained a broken femur but is recovering in hospital. Officials say bison injure more people in Yellowstone than any other animal and visitors must stay at least 25 yards away. The incident is drawing renewed attention to park safety during mating season.
