Yellowstone bison wanders into Idaho

It’s rare sight out of Yellowstone National Park.

A bison wandered out of the park and was walking along a highway in Island Park last week.

The state veterinarian says the bison poses risks to people, and it can also spread a disease to cattle in the area.

State officials who were tracking the animal say it eventually traveled back to Montana.

Idaho Fish and Game say capturing bison is difficult so, when a bison leaves Yellowstone, the department tries to get the bison to return to the park.
