A man who intentionally disturbed a newborn bison calf and caused its 
death is being sought by Yellowstone National Park law enforcement 
officers.

The unidentified white male believed to be in his 40s or 50s was wearing a 
blue shirt and black pants when he approached the bison calf in Lamar 
Valley near the confluence of the Lamar River and Soda Butte Creek, 
according to the National Park Service.

The calf got separated from its mother when the herd crossed the Lamar 
River, and when the calf struggled, the man pushed the calf up from the 
river and onto the road. Later, the calf was observed walking up to and 
following cars and people.

From Yellowstone National Park:

“Interference by people can cause wildlife to reject their offspring. In 
this case, park rangers tried repeatedly to reunite the calf with the 
herd. These efforts failed. The calf was later killed by park staff 
because it was abandoned by the herd and causing a hazardous situation by 
approaching cars and people along the roadway.

“Approaching wild animals can drastically affect their well-being and, in 
this case, their survival. Park regulations require that people stay at 
least 25 yards away from all wildlife (including bison, elk and deer) and 
at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves. Disregarding these 
regulations can result in fines, injury and even death. The safety of 
these animals, as well as human safety, depends on everyone using good 
judgment and following these simple rules.”

In this instance, the man did neither, and by his actions caused the death 
of the bison calf.

to tourists

Yellowstone National Park explains why it doesn’t rescue wildlife and why 
it is important for the public to let nature take its course without human 
intervention. In part, it says:

“In the wildness of Yellowstone, animals that are vulnerable or make bad 
decisions become food for others. It can be difficult to watch nature take 
its course, especially when young animals are involved and human actions 
may have influenced the outcome. However, each year animals have more 
offspring than can possibly survive. The death of some animals is a 
necessary part of sustaining our populations of predators, scavengers, 
decomposers and, eventually, herbivores once the nutrient cycle comes full 
circle. Yellowstone is not a zoo or an animal park; it is the wilderness 
home to countless creatures living in their own environment on their own 
terms.”

If you were in Lamar Valley on the evening of May 20, 2023 and have 
information that could help this investigation, please contact the 
Yellowstone National Park Tip Line at (307) 344-2132 or email 
YELL_Tip@nps.gov.

A far better outcome would be

Man gored to death by buffalo
Park Service saying "Oh well!"
Leaving corpse for the park's wolves.
