One of the most exciting parts of our Yellowstone visit was seeing the wildlife. We saw a lot of buffalo (herds and herds, hundreds of 'em), dozens of elk, geese, rabbits, chipmunks, and SEVEN GRIZZLY BEARS! The grizzly bears--which can be differentiated from the black bears not by their color, but by the presence of a hump in their shoulders and an elevated rump--were out looking for food and relatively easy to spot because of the snow. There were a lot of avid wildlife enthusiasts who kindly let us look through their telescopes so we were able to see the bears up close. We even saw one mama bear and her two cubs (in the photos above). Some of them are well camouflaged!
LOOKS LIKE WE ARE BACK AT THE ZOO
