ANIMALS - 1 The Wildlife in Yellowstone was fantastic - a Pleistocene Park. Large mammals wandering free, small mammals unfettered. Lots of bird
life. Wish we could have seen more! |
We saw this grizzly bear on the first day, travelling into the park from Red Lodge and the Beartooth Mountains. The bear is pretty small and narrow for a grizzly, so it was likely a youngster. It was well above the road, turning over rocks (foraging for grubs?), and posed no threat to us or the other cars that stopped. |

Doe elk grazing in a little island at Old Faithful geyser. All they do is eat and sleep. |
