Standing about four feet at the shoulder and weighing between 130-350 pounds, both male and female caribou grow antlers as long as three feet or more. Caribou population in Denali National Park has decreased from about 10,000 in the 1970 to approximately 1,800 presently, due to weather severity and predation. Caribou are part of Denali’s “Big Five,” wolves, moose, Dall sheep, bears and caribou.
Bison often meander in small groups looking for a fresh place to graze and rest. In this picture, a bison and her calf wander through open rangeland near Hayden Valley of Yellowstone National Park in September.
Photographed at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge on an extremely cold winter morning, this deer foraged through the frost-covered brush unaware of Bill’s presence. Icicles hung from tree branches and the surrounding woods looked like a winter wonderland, in spite of the 15 degree temperature.
