A girl visiting Yellowstone Nationwide Park was gored by a bison and tossed into the air, park officials stated Tuesday.
The 25-year-old lady, who was visiting from Ohio, was not identified in a information release from the park.
The girl approached the female bison Monday morning after it came close to a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, close to Previous Faithful geyser, the park said.

An estimated 2,300 to 5,500 bison live at the park, and they have injured extra people than another animal, the park stated.
When the visitor came within 10 ft of the animal, the bison impaled her and "tossed" her 10 feet within the air, the park stated.
The lady had puncture wounds and different accidents and was taken to a hospital in Idaho, the service said. Her situation was unknown Tuesday.
Two different individuals were also near the animal when it gored the woman, the park stated. The release didn’t say if they have been injured.
The park warned individuals to remain 25 yards from bison, elk, bighorn sheep and moose and at the very least 100 yards from bears and wolves.
