The calf was seen by visitors walking up to and following both cars and people, creating a hazard for those nearby, NPS said, adding that “interference by people can cause wildlife to reject their offspring.”
On Saturday evening, an unidentified man disturbed a bison calf after it was separated from its mother and herd when crossing the Lamar River in the park,“As the calf struggled, the man pushed the calf up from the river and onto the roadway,” NPS said in the news release.state that people need to stay at least 25 yards away from bison, elk and most other wildlife and 100 yards away from bears and wolves. Approaching wild animals can affect their well-being and their survival, NPS said.
“Interference by people can cause wildlife to reject their offspring,” NPS said. After park rangers failed in their attempt to reunite the calf with its herd,they decided to euthanize the calf as “it was abandoned by its herd and was causing a hazardous situation to approaching cars and people along the roadway,” the news release said.
