DAY 7: DRIVE THROUGH YELLOWSTONE TO CODY, WY
We saw a lot of wildlife on the trip. We saw loads of elk and bison. In Hayden Valley the bison caused traffic jams crossing the road, Xander finally got bored with them. We also saw a moose with a baby, a coyote, red squirrels, uinta ground squirrels, red mantle ground squirrels, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, least chipmunks, prairie dogs, cottontail rabbits, badgers, toads, mamma and baby bighorn sheep, and wild burros. The guys also saw a mink, and Bruce spotted a beaver.
It’s hard to get good photos of the wildlife, but this bull elk was posing right along side the road.
BTW, I highly recommend Cody, it is a fun Western town.
FAST FACTS:
Moose means twig eater.
The bison (often incorrectly called buffalo) is the biggest land mammal in North America.
Wyoming is the least populated state in the US.
Wyoming boasts the first national park (Yellowstone) and the first national monument (Devil’s Tower)
