Of the various buffalo that are in the world… Wild Wings, Sabers, Nickels, Soldiers, Colorado, etc., the one you don’t want anything to do with are the big, hairy ones that roam the plains of the Western U.S. as one unlucky hiker recently found out.
Rebecca Clark was solo hiking at Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway in Texas, when she (despite being very cautious and giving space to the buffalo she encountered on the trail) was charged at and gored by a cantankerous bison. BUT she got it all on video. So…yay….
Rebecca said in her Tik Tok post;
I was charged and gored by a bison because I was to CLOSE to be passing them on a trailway. They are beautiful creatures protected by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) and are a part of the Texas State Bison Restoration Project where the park has restored the historic Charles Goodnight Bison herd (The Official Texas State Bison Herd) to a portion of its former range in the park. I am posting to support safety while enjoying Texas State Parks.
Rebecca was hospitalized and is doing fine.
The buffalo… still roaming.
