Bakharna bieva Inst Heart-stopping footage shows 9-year-old girl attacked by bison at Yellowstone National Park
A nine-year-old girl was thrown into the air by a bison at Yellowstone National Park on Monday.
The unidentified girl, who is said to be from Odessa, Fla., was visiting the park's famous Old Faithful geyser when the animal charged at her, according to NBC News.
The attack sent the girl flying into the air. The National Park Service later released a statement saying the girl was treated and released from the park's Old Faithful Clinic, however they did not state the extent of her injuries.
Hailey Dayton, 18, was one of the bystanders who had been filming the bison when the attack began. She ultimately captured the entire incident on video.
"Because [the bison] was agitated by all the people and noise, it just kind of attacked," Dayton told NBC News on Wednesday. "After that, everyone was screaming. There were a bunch of kids crying."
Dayton posted her video to Twitter. The post went viral, but she later deleted it after receiving what she called "cruel and inconsiderat

While we are all waiting for our jabs, we might wonder why the government is so keen on calling any Covid-19 vaccine a “jab” in the first place. The usage seems at once chummy and infantilising, but why does it mean “injection” anyway?
The verb “jab” is originally a Scottish form of “job”, an onomatopoeic word used since the 16th century to describe the pecking of birds, and then for any poking or thrusting action. (Romantically, “to job faces” with another meant to kiss them ardently.) Hence also the use of “jab” to mean a boxer’s straight punch with the non-dominant hand. (“Jab him, if you can, with your left,” advises a 1901 manual of self-defence by the British boxing champion Robert James “Bob” Fitzsimmons.) The additional sense of mockery or raillery (as in “verbal jabs”) is inspired by this martial context.
The medical sense of “jab”, meanwhile, has a rather less salubrious origin, as a 1914 dictionary of criminal slang introduces it: “Jab, current amongst morphine and cocaine fiends. A hypodermic injection.” Even if we haven’t yet had our healthier kind of modern jab, we might feel as though the government has repeatedly punched us in the face.
