[jules' pics] Wildlife for my MIL

James has promised his parents a trip to Yellowstone. Weirdly this has resulted in them sending us lots of bears for Christmas and birthdays. It seems important, therefore to point out that, apart from buffalo, wildlife can be elusive. For example, see the wolf, 4th photo down, here.

We had better luck with the mountain goats further north:

(Those prairie dogs in the distance are rare black tailed ones!)

When you do see a bear, usually it is too quick to hardly even notice, but sometimes it looks like this:

One can tell the difference between a black bear (colors are black, auburn and brown) and a brown bear by climbing a tree.

The black bear climbs the tree after you.

The brown bear just knocks the tree down.

Bears like pizza. Just sayin'.
