It will take a lot of work to repair this damage and, in many places, the river has permanently moved meaning new roads will have to be built using new routes.

There are only seven documented wolverines in Yellowstone National Park and the adjoining national forests — two females and five males — according to NPS. (March 2022)

This wolverine pic was taken by Panzer Gnauck. Panzer is an incredible photographer and he often heads to the park from Bozeman in the early mornings to capture photos of Yellowstone's most incredible, hard to spot animals. Panzer's dad was Ernie Gnauck and his mom is Kris Henson. The family spent several years in Yellowstone, I believe in the late 60's and early 70's.

It’s getting to be that season again…

National parks offer a unique experience for watching wildlife. But with that privilege comes great responsibility. Visitors are responsible for their own safety and for the safety of the animals, too. Simply put, leave animals alone—no touching, no feeding, no harassing. Do not feed any animals from your car and keep an eye on the road for any wildlife that may decide to cross at any time.

Now this message is not for those who know what’s up and would never dream of getting too close to wildlife on purpose. Thanks for leading by example! Think of this as a message to share with others you may know heading out to a park. “Vacation brain” sometimes makes an appearance, and people may let their guard down, or get taken in by a bear’s fluffy ears, only to have a less than pleasant experience in nature. With nature? Nature doesn’t care about your vacation. It happens. Every year.

In conclusion, remember to keep your distance from wild animals, and enjoy your experience watching wildlife. Find more tips at: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/watchingwildlife/
