On this visit to the park we did not see several types of animals like the wolf, lynx, etc. However we did see lots of wildlife and they are shown in this seciton. Saw many small animals like this ground squirrels
and this marmot
As well as large ones like this female moose
eating willows that were killed by the large winter population of snowshoe hare feeding on the tree bark or this bull.
Bull moose will fight to the death during mating season . . many times by interlocking their racks and unable to separate them as shown by the set of antlers below
There were caribou
and the fox catching his dinner.
The ptarmagins were just beginning to change their coats for winter white but they could still hid in full view
Probably the most impressive to us and our fellow travelers were the mighty bears.
and the beautiful sight of mama and her twins.
We have had a great visit (4 nights with three bus trips on our Tek Passes). Saw lots of mountains, fall colors and animals but we are at the gatehouse so we will leave the area headed north to our next adventure.
