Everyone's a bison. 
This was the terrifying scene at Yellowstone National Park, a bison charging toward a man and a young person. 
Moments before, the two taking photos from a distance as it lays down. 
When the animal gets up and bolts in their direction, they try to run and hide as the bison chases the man around a tree, shakes another one, and then the bison slams into that man with brutal force, throwing him feet into the air. 
It was like watching uh a bulldozer move out at 45 miles an hour. 
Photographer Mike McCloud recorded that video, but stopped and ran to help. 
And when you approached this man, how is he 
Uh he was in a lot of pain. 
Um he was conscious, I think, the entire time. 
The National Park Service confirming a 65-year-old man was injured by a bison and taken to the hospital. 
McCloud says he's in touch with the man's family. 
It sounds like uh he has a broken leg in several places. 
The doctor said that he probably could would recover, but it's going to be a long recovery. 
The man's family telling NBC News he underwent surgery and remains at the hospital. 
This incident, the second in just 2 months at the park. 
In June, a 12-year-old was also hurt by a bison. 
The National Park Service says people should always stay more than 25 yards away from them and to run away IF ONE CHARGES. 
A FRIGHTENING incident at one of America's most iconic parks.
