A Texas hiker is warning other outdoor enthusiasts to beware of bison through a viral TikTok video that shows one charging her on a trail, sending her to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Clark, the Texas Park and Wildlife Department, and United Regional Wichita Falls, the hospital where Clark said she received treatment, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Once nearly extinct, bison now number half a million, with most part of private herds, according to the Texas Park and Wildlife Department.
Caprock Canyons State Park is the home of the Texas State Bison Herd, which is monitored by park officials, according to the department.
"As a rule, bison require at least 50 yards (half a football field) between them and people," the Texas Park and Wildlife Department said.
