Yellowstone In Winter HD

Yellowstone gets a lot of snow in the winter, averaging three feet in January and closing most of the roads in the park. Snowmobiles and snow coaches are the only vehicles allowed, There are several hundred elk in the snow-covered meadow, but we will spook them if we try to get closer. However, they are comfortable with horses, so an old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh is the best way to get good footage. Coyotes are opportunistic hunters, surviving primarily on small mammals, such as voles, prairie dogs, rabbits, ground squirrels, and mice. Red foxes are omnivores with a highly varied diet, feeding primarily on small rodents.

The bison is truly a majestic animal. An adult bull may measure six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh 2,000 pounds. Females look like the males except that they are smaller and have more slender horns. Bison mate from July through early August, and the calves are born in April and May.

Right on time, Old Faithful is the symbol of Yellowstone National Park. Its unparalleled array of geysers, hot springs, mud pots and steam vents provide evidence of the active volcano below our feet. In Yellowstone, you are standing in one of the world's largest active volcanoes.
