There are plenty of WILD animals in Yellowstone National Park. This was a mother black bear with 2 cubs foraging in the trees. The cubs were hiding beneath the foliage, and the mother kept looking for them. They were never far out of her sight!
I love these guys.
A traffic jam I can live with
The herd of buffalo (bison) is huge here. They are everywhere. You might become complacent and think they are tame animals; the park rangers have their hands full keeping people AWAY from them. I honestly don't understand the people who get out of their cars and approach these wild beasts - but, they do.
All these photographs are shot from a safe distance.
LOTS of babies at this time of year.
These beasts are elk. They, too, seem sweet and nice. But, they will kill you too - especially when they have young.
Well . . . he doesn't exactly look dangerous!

This fella had a nice set of antlers.
4-legged, intelligent. 2-legged, dummy!
Chillin' out in the tall grass.
He looked back at my clicking camera - and seemed annoyed.
Again, dummies!
Some geese.
A grizzly bear - far, far away - going for a swim.
