Don't Feed the Animals!


The really cool thing about Yellowstone Park is that you never know what kind of wildlife you'll see. Well, bison are pretty much a given...my mom and dad call them park cattle, but as for other things, it's always a surprise. One of the rare sightings that caught people's attention and caused a road block was a grizzly cub. My daddy told me not to mess with him, because momma bear wasn't too far away! We also saw a bison on the road...he almost got hit by another truck. In a place called Mammoth, we saw a TON of elk...a little raghorn male, a 6x6 male and a whole bunch of cow elk and their babies. My daddy was surprised not to see the "big boy" with his herd because they very rarely leave them during mating season just in case another bull elk tries to take the harem. It was pretty cool to see all of these elk in one spot...too bad my daddy didn't have a hunting permit for the Park!
