Moose and her calf...6-1-2008

This calf is not very old and never did stand up.....the mother was very attentive to it....you can see the baby in the brush.....they are not a very good-looking animal, but somehow they grow on you.....so far this year we have seen 5 moose.....

Bear Jam....6-12008

This is a bear jam in Yellowstone....these lens put my new camera to shame....cars were parked for over a mile along the road....Rosie and her cubs certainly draw a lot of attention....Last year she smelled the odor of a deer on one of the parked cars and she promptly tore off the grill of the SUV.....it had apparently hit the deer the day before. would have loved to have seen that....

Twin Sheep..5-31-2008

These are adorable little guys also....

Elk...5-31-2008

Each time we see this elk you can tell the growth of his antlers.....they grow about three inches a day and soon they will start losing the velvet....when he loses his winter coat and "slicks" up, he is beautiful.....

Adorable

We could have watched them for hours....the calf was so wobbly and so dependent on mom.....we have watched and heard a mother elk crying when a pediator has killed their young.....but, it is nature
