Wildlife

In the very short clip of people in Yellowstone National Park, the video cuts to what appears to be a dead bison.

The average Wyomingite inherently knows to leave our wildlife alone, especially the larger, carnivorous animals like bears. Unfortunately, a lot of our countrymen don't share that level of common sense.

If I told you that a couple of guys decided it was a good idea to pet a bison, you would probably guess correctly what's gonna happen. It did. One man's offer of friendliness to a bison resulted in him getting the head butt of a lifetime.

It's not every day that I can write this phrase and be completely truthful. The Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile just photobombed a bison in Yellowstone National Park. Yes, this really did just happen.

This is the first sighting of a grizzly bear in the park this year, although tracks have been seen on several occasions in the last two weeks.

If you're fortunate, you might hear wolves howl next time you visit Yellowstone National Park. But, you're not likely to hear them all the way in downtown West Yellowstone unless you were there a few mornings ago.

When you drive the highways and byways of western America, you never know what wildlife may be joining you on the road. A Montana driver recently shared video of 3 young mountain lions who were booking it down the road alongside him.

Some people have a really hard time with modern technology.

According to Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, a hiker was injured during a surprise close encounter with a bull moose east of Ennis.

What an incredible story, although it is a bit terrifying. Thankfully, he didn't encounter the mountain lion when it was in a bad mood.

Moose sightings aren't nearly as common as seeing deer and elk. Moose are pretty elusive for their size. You may get lucky and see more than one at times, but it's rare.

Seeing a wolverine in YNP is extremely rare, as only seven are known to live in the park.
