A Yellowstone bison attack left 65-year-old Carl McDaniel with a femur broken in four places after the animal charged and threw him roughly eight feet into the air as he tried to draw it away from his 13-year-old grandson. Though the bison stood over him and could have attacked again, Carl survived, underwent surgery, and was taking his first steps in physical therapy just days later, a close call he and others see as a powerful reminder of God’s mercy and protection.

Listen For:

• Why Carl told his grandson to run while he tried to draw the charging bison away

• The remarkable moment the bison stood over Carl but did not attack again
