Fascinating

I was wrong... the pronghorn has been clocked at sprints up to 70 mph. Now that is freaking cool, and something that North Americans should brag about!

You know what else is cool? The land in central Yellowstone has been rising at approximately the same rate as your fingernails grow.

I hope not to experience this one, but there are around 2,000 small earthquake tremors picked up by seismographs in a typical year in Yellowstone.

A bear may spend 20 out of 24 hours in a day - eating! They eat 35 pounds of food in a day.

Did you know that the feathers of a bald eagle weigh more than its skeleton?


A fully developed rack of elk antlers weighs as much as a 5 year old child.

This cute little rodent is living in a hole in a park in the center of town.

Some crazy fool thinks they can get $85,000 for this wolf pack sculpture.
