Wildlife

In an earlier blog, I promised one on wildlife.  Chuck and I absolutely love viewing wildlife in their natural habitats.  So far this trip has been amazing when it comes to seeing animals.  The photography may not be great, but the animals are..will share anyway.  The first wildlife were the cute little prairie dogs.  It only got better.  (If anyone knows how to do a better picture layout on these blogs, please tell me).

We also saw amazing Grizzly Bears and Wolves at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone.  These animals had to be taken out of the wild because of their "interest" in humans.  People just don't respect wildlife enough.  Feeding them can make them dependent or a danger to humans.  Then they have to euthanized if they can't be relocated.  Luckily the bears and wolves at the center have a great home.  Will post some video from the center on Facebook.  You may have seen the wolf howling video already.  Well worth the time to visit the center if you are in West Yellowstone.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE GET TO  EXPERIENCE IN ALASKA.
