These pictures are fantastic. In a couple of months, I think the one with the two wolves will be featured on my desktop. Incredible Yellowstone National Park Wildlife [60 PICS] http://www.lovethesepics.com/2013/01/incredible-yellowstone-national-park-wildlife-60-pics/ Take care, Pat |

I just re-watched the PBS special by Ken Burns detailing the history of the National Parks with gorgeous footage. I think there are several more parts but the 2 hours on the beginnings of the rescue of Yosemite and Yellowstone from potential "development" were fascinating and informative.

I love the first one, the bear. I am afraid that if I were to see a bear looking at me like that I would forget that it is a creature with whom I can't communicate. |

I like the badgers, the porcupine, the baby bear crawling over the log, the red fox, the swan, the bald eagle, the pika, the marmots, the vole,the muskrat, and my favourite is the marten. I have seen bears, deer, wolves, cayote, moose, etc. whereas I have not seen many of the above, well except for the swan and eagle. |

In 2010, I packed the tent and dog and drove to Yellowstone Park. The wildlife and scenery was unbelievable. No more wolves in the park. They were imported from Canada to cull the elk population. That was done successfully and the wolves have travelled to better hunting grounds - ranches with livestock. Quite a controversy on this. Here is Sierra looking at the buffalo guarding out tent.

Great picture of both Sierra and the buffalo Erka. do you mean you slept in that small tent with all the wild animals around? If so, you are more brave than moi. Take care, Pat |

Yes, that was the tent. If bears are in the area, the campground is closed. In the spring, the campgrounds in the south (near the rivers/creeks) are closed as the bears are "fishing". |

How long did you have to wait for that buffalo to move on Erka? |

Bitsy: I always prefer to travel alone (I am hard to get along with!) FuzzyO: I think the buffalo rested for 10 or 15 minutes. They stroll into the camp ground so we had time to get the camera and wait for them to meander up the hill. Having a rest by the tent was a highlight! |

It is truly a remarkable picture! The buffalo encounter I most remember was in Banff. We were in a little Volkswagen when all of a sudden the herd charged right towards us. It was terrifying! Thank goodness they divided at the car and surged round us on either side. The sound of the pounding hoofs was amazing. |

A few years ago I was driving through Yellowstone and finally has to pull over about midnight to get some sleep in the Van. The area chosen was quite isolated with no other vehicles around. Anyway I had a nice sleep. Upon getting up in the morning I was parked before a large sign which stated "be aware of Grizzly Bears". There sure are many very isolated areas in the park. |

I was going to ask that question! Now I know this may sound silly, but, when you encounter animals like that, and you are in the open .... do you run for cover, or stand stock still? |
