Mule Deer (Odocoileus Hemionus) can be found throughout the entire western United States, including the deserts of the American Southwest, Mule deer have large ears that move constantly and independently, as do mules, hence the name, "Mule Deer." The Greater Yellowstone hosts a prodigious population of Mule Deer and they are a great benefit for the economy, both as photographers fodder and for hunting. Mule deer can thrive nearly anywhere; their habitats include woodland chaparral, Sonoran desert, semi-desert, shrub woodland, Great Plains grasslands, shrub land forest, sagebrush steppe, and boreal forest. Mule deer are remarkably adaptable.

Perhaps more than any other member of the animal kingdom, wolves have historically played the villain's role. Misperceptions about wolves have abounded for centuries, historically, cultures worldwide, believed that wolves were so aggressive that they posed a risk to humans but, ironically, wolves are wary of humans because man has been killing wolves for millennia. Folklore is littered with proverbs and metaphors about this fearsome carnivore, from Peter and the Wolf in Russia to the wolf's mysticism in Native American culture; wolves have long been a powerful symbol. Even today, wolves engender excitement merely at the possibility of an appearance on the wilderness stage. Wolves nearly disappeared from the west by the early 1900s. In 1930, a federal agent killed the last indigenous gray wolf of Yellowstone. In 1933, the Yellowstone adopted a policy, limiting the unnecessary killing of predators in the park, but it was too late for Yellowstone's wolf. Since then a conceptual evolution has taken place, in 1972, ideas of restoring the wolf to the Yellowstone eco-system, to restore endemic biodiversity, began to circulate. A new philosophy of wildlife management took root when the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973, Consequently, wolves were listed as an endangered species in the United States. As part of a recovery plan the Fish and Wildlife Service, recommended introducing an experimental population of wolves into Yellowstone National Park. The plan included special regulations that took effect in November 1994, outlining how wolves would be managed as a nonessential experimental population under section ten of the Endangered Species Act.

Sharing my knowledge with Yellowstone visitors not only enables me to spend more time photographing in the field, sharing this resource with the public helps the grizzlies in the political arena as most who encounter them become advocates for them.

Contact Daryl for "Custom Prints" 208-709-3250 or dh@greater-yellowstone.com Mountain Goats of the Yellowstone Region. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has a health population of non-endemic Mountain Goats which thrive in the high mountain peaks of the region. The Mountain Goats of the Greater Yellowstone eco-system make a home on the vertical planes of the Rocky Mountains where they cling and move around on the impossibly steep slopes of this unforgiving and barren terrain, Mountain Goats can survive on scant food in incredibly hostile environs. Mountain goats fit perfectly into the category of "charismatic mega-fauna." Their beauty, grace, and athleticism, is a treat to watch and their cute faces are always a thrill to see. The kids are precocious, able to move on steep slopes within hours of birth, an awe-inspiring site in itself.

The largest population of Bison/buffalo in the are in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Yellowstone’s ubiquitous Bison or as most people know them, Buffalo, have been delighting Yellowstone and Grand Teton Park visitors for many decades, I surely was surprised on my first visit to Yellowstone to see the vast herds of bison that harkened back to the days of the western migration across the great plains and the days of Buffalo Bill. In many ways, bison are the essence of the American west as much as the Texas Longhorn and the cowboy. The prehistoric look of this creature surely is a sight to remember, ugly in many ways but fascinating nonetheless. What bison lack in majesty like elk or the cuteness of deer they make up for in their mighty presence of raw power and their evocative conveyance to a nostalgic time long past.
