Insider Guide to Yellowstone

Yellowstone is famous for the abundance of its wildlife, including bison, elk, wolves, bears, coyotes, moose, bobcats, mountain lions and an array of unique birds.

Each species has a preferred habitat, but sightings are unpredictable. Visitors should exercise caution near wild animals and never approach them on purpose as their behavior is unpredictable. Yellowstone visitor centers provide educational information about wildlife that every first time park visitors should learn about.

Another good resource is the National Park Service web site. Visit www.nps.gov/yell/nature/animals/ for videos and information about Yellowstone wildlife.
