Paicines, California. This cute little baby deer showed up with its mama almost every day to graze and–believe it or not–slurp up water from a dripping faucet! (There was a creek nearby. 😏🤣)

Feisty Frizzle (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. Since we were spending the whole summer in Grant Village, we decided to name the local elk (although, to be honest, there was technically no way to tell if an elk was a different one or not).

Big Bison on the Road (Wyoming)

Yellowstone National Park. This big ol’ bison was slurping up muddy, seeping thermal water. Each time after doing that, he would lick his nostrils. You would be alarmed at how deep the tongue went into the nostril. He also had a tendency to yawn.
