N2  - Since 1980, bison have injured more pedestrian visitors to Yellowstone National Park (Yellowstone) than any other animal. After the occurrence of 33 bison-related injuries during 1983-1985 (range = 10-13/year), the park implemented successful outreach campaigns to reduce the average number of injuries to 0.8/year (range = 0-2/year) during 2010-2014 (unpublished data, National Park Service, September 2015). During May-July 2015, five injuries associated with bison encounters occurred. Case reports were reviewed to evaluate circumstances surrounding these injuries to inform prevention.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
