British Invasion {Wildlife}

I just wanted to make it clear, I am not part of the wildlife in the park. I just didn't know where else to share this picture. 


We didn't see as many animals as we had hoped, but we did see elk. And some big bull elk at that! Again though, the idiots swarmed with their cameras way, way too close to these three big bulls hanging out in a bunch of burned and fallen trees.



Oh and this guy on the side of the road. 


A black bear and way, way, way off in the distance of a meadow a momma grizzly and her two cubs.


The ranger in charge of keeping folks a safe distance from the black bear was more fascinated by this caterpillar than the bear. 


And bison {intermixed with a few antelopes}. Finally! We drove all over looking for the herds.



This guy decided to have a dust bath. 

And this guy, Samuel, took about 10,000 pictures with Grandpa's camera. It was like driving the paparazzi around with all the clicking. If he wasn't taking 70 pictures {I am NOT exaggerating} of the same bison, it was Alexis. 




We also saw a moose, heron, an eagle's nest, deer, beaver, geese, ducks, a mystery animal near the meadows where the wolves hangout {Jeff swears it was a wolf}, and a badger. The badger was sweet! It's the first time I've ever seen one. They do this funny waddle as they walk and run and look pretty ferocious. Not something you'd want to run into on a trail!
