A massive bull bison tossed a tourist into the air, seriously injuring him, in a heart-pounding caught-on-camera attack at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. 
Video show the unidentified man being thrown 8 feet in the air by the wild bison at the Bridge Bay Campground, Cowboy State Daily reported . 
The tourist was walking with his grandson when the powerful herbivore attacked. 
Video shows the man running around a copse of pines to try to escape the bull, which was giving itself a dust bath moments earlier. 
The bison suddenly charged the two tourists, and then viciously head-butted the older bearded man  catapulting him into the air. 
“I was just trying to get some dramatic footage of that bison having a fit. 
It’s changed my idea of what to expect from these guys at this time of year, because I would not have predicted that happening,” Montana-based photographer Mike MacLeod, who took the pictures, told Cowboy State Daily. 
The tourist was thrown 8 feet into the air at the Bridge Bay Campground. 
“He [the bison] started walking through the campground. 
He was coming up to this group of kids, who were taking pictures on their cellphones from a good distance away, and then the buffalo charged these kids,” MacLeod said. 
No update has been released on the condition of the man tossed by the bison.
