Bighorn Sheep (Wyoming)
National Elk Refuge, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. These guys weren’t exactly cute, and they also weren’t the type of bighorn sheep we were used to seeing. I actually thought they were Dall’s sheep at first, haha. 😏 But when we went home, I looked in a field guide and discovered that no, they weren’t Dall’s sheep….
Banana Slug (Washington)
Fall City, Washington. I was just walking around in our site, and I leapt back–a snake? 😨 But, after the generally general, scary scare, I looked closer. Aha and avast! At last! A banana slug. If it was a banana, it was rather unripe. 🤣 These beastly beasts best even the best of sluggish slugs….
Mama and Baby Bear (Alberta, Canada)
Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We drove down this road in high hopes of seeing exactly this kind of thing. These black bears were so fun to watch, especially the adorable cub. It was extremely disappointing when the baby bear vanished down the other side of the hill.
Huge Bison, Yellowstone National Park (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.
Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel, Lassen Volcanic National Park (California)
Lassen Volcanic National Park. Obviously. This cute little guy watched us for a while, and we sure watched him. It was so neat to see this new species! What’s your favorite type of squirrel? There are over two hundred different types, so choose well!
Grizzly 399! (Wyoming)
Yellowstone National Park. Grizzly 399! Blurry picture, furry bear. This was super cool, especially noting the fact that she got hit by a car and died only four months later.
That’s so cool! Elk are a lot like deer right?
