Yellowstone Wildlife part II

Antelope

Elk

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz I know, I know. Pretty Bad.

This Elk was standing right in front of our car. I had to sneak out to go use the restroom.

These buffalo were fording the river, it was quite impressive.

Apparently they were having their young babysat, because as soon as they got back across the river they began feeing their young.

This Buffalo was right outside our car, Barry keep his foot on the gas in case the buffalo decided to ram us.

....It just decided to relieve its' waters instead. :)






And then we saw............

GRIZZLEYS

This grizzley was close, I mean like 10 ft away! Not down a ravine, or across the river, but right on the side of the road. The rangers make you leave if they're that close, but the ranger hadn't made it there yet, so we got a good view as we drove by and watched it pick out it's snack among the foolish onlookers who were just STANDING on the side of the rode snapping pictures.

James's loved the bears, woke him right up. Lauren even pointed at them.


We saw blackbears, 6 grizzly bears, including a mom and two cubs, a snake, antelope, elk, buffalo, 3 wolves on a kill, and much much more! The wolves looked about the size of our donkey and struck great fear in my heart. I really didn't get very many good pictures. I am going to invest in a better camera for our next trip, because there is TONS to see.
