Viral Yellowstone Attack
Bison Won’t Be Getting His Buffalo Wings
Published
The bison that tossed a Yellowstone tourist in the air in an insane viral video will NOT be put down … TMZ has learned.
Yellowstone Park officials tell us … no “management action” will be taken against the wild animal … meaning it won’t be euthanized — and that’s that.
A tourist was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident and said the bison was “angry, agitated and charging anything and everything.” (No audio) pic.twitter.com/ELmHQjvxFj

This update comes after Carl Isom-McDaniel was hurled in the air on Friday at the Bridge Bay Campground near Yellowstone Lake. The 65-year-old suffered a few broken bones from the scary encounter … but is on the mend.
The National Park Service recommends staying at least 75 feet away from bison and elk … and it looked like Carl and his grandson were at least that far away when they stopped to snaps some pics … but the bison still attacked.
Heads up to folks heading over to Yellowstone … it’s mating season, so the males at the park are likely all hopped up on testosterone!
Since Carl is fine and going viral … it’ll be interesting to see if Buffalo Wild Wings reaches out for a clever collab.
