Yellowstone Park's Wildlife

We saw quite a variety of wildlife throughout Yellowstone. The most common of those being the bison shown above. What's pretty cool about all those animals is their indifference to human presence. The best example would be the elk in this picture:

Put up random building in the middle in the park? He didn't care...he was gonna chill out whereever he wanted! :o) Now as for our next specimen, the mighty Grizzly Bear:

We were actually behind it to start, but when it started walking away from the road, we started to roll forward and as we were right along side it, he just turned around and headed back towards us. Sung got a great video of it, and I got a couple of blurry shots of it on my camera...hey, let's see how you do if a bear is coming at ya. Maybe I would've been a lot braver if I hadn't seen this earlier that day:
