A hiker said she was "charged and gored by a bison" at Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway in Texas — and she documented the frightening encounter in a viral TikTok video.
In the clip, which was uploaded last week, TikTok user Rebecca Clark said she was on a solo hike when she encountered a group of bison on a trail. The video showed the animals moving away from the path as the hiker inched toward them.
"There you go, keep going," she said in the video. "I don't want to deal with them. I just want to go by."
When the bison had all cleared the trail, the hiker continued to move forward. "Thank you, I appreciate it," Clark said while starting to pass the animals.
Then, one of the bison suddenly turned around. "Oh no," Clark said, shortly before the bison charged at her. The hiker then let out a scream and seemingly fell to the ground.
In a follow-up video, Clark said that she was "okay" but that the bison "rammed my back, gored me and threw me into a mesquite bush."
The hiker said in the clip that she waited for close to an hour before help arrived and during that time had "limited phone service & no access to 911."
