https://nypost.com/2019/07/23/watch-bison-launch-9-year-old-girl-into-the-air-at-yellowstone/
A raging bull bison could be seen charging at a 9-year-old girl at Yellowstone National Park and launching her several feet into the air.
The shocking incident, which was caught on camera, happened as a group of 50 visitors loitered closely around the animal for nearly 20 minutes in the Old Faithful Geyser area on Monday afternoon, according to the National Park Service.
Footage from the incident, shot by visitor Hailey Dayton, who was just steps away from the bull bison, shows the animal calmly grazing on a hillside before charging and walloping the girl.
Other tourists can be heard on camera gasping, Oh my god, oh my god as the girl flips sideways in mid-air.
After charging at the little girl, the bull bison stoked more fears when it set its sights on a crowd gathered on a nearby bridge.
Everyone was screaming and running while little kids were crying, Dayton told The Post.

OP
their legs are so tiny compared to the big bulky bodies, doesn't seem they can accelerate that fast
