Through a statement, local authorities reported that the child survived the attack and was taken to a nearby hospital while recovering from her injuries.
According to witnesses, approximately 50 people were 1 to 3 meters from the bison for 20 minutes. At one point, unexpectedly the animal lashed out at the group and that’s when it hit the girl.
The accident was recorded by one of the visitors and the video has circulated on social media. The images see the bison grazing in a field, seemingly quiet, but soon after heading to the area where visitors are.
The 9-year-old victim came from Odessa, Florida, and after being examined and treated by medical staff, was discharged. Meanwhile, park authorities have noted that the incident is under investigation, but have reminded the public that the area’s wildlife is wild, so they should take precautions.
Staff have recommended staying away from animals on trails, boardwalks or parking lots. “Keep 23 meters away from all large animals: bison, moose, maroon sheep, deer, moose and coyotes, and at least 91 meters from bears and wolves,” the statement reads.
