YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - WILDLIFE

Bison seem very placid and slow moving; however, in Yellowstone National Park, more people are injured or killed by being gored by a Bison than those harmed by Black Bears or grizzlies. (Double click to enlarge pictures)

Typical in North Dakota and Montana was seeing fishermen casting in mountain streams with Bison or Elk (Bison here) in the background.

Mom Bison and calf. These babies kick up their heals and run around like most young. Usually Bison are seen grazing in large pastures.



First time we had seen Ravens. They look like crows, but much larger. This one was
interested in the contents of our truck bed--no food!


Young bull elk. While in the park, we also saw but could not photograph, Mule Deer and Bighorn Sheep.
