The Animals of Slough Creek in YNP
It was a day just like any other day as we stopped for a break at the rest stop. A visitors approached us and talked about a dead bison. It was September 11 and rut season was still in action. June through September is Rut Season (dating and mating) for the bison. Often the males (bulls) fight for females (cows). Sometimes the males get hurt, which was the case on Slough Creek. As we arrived, we could see the carcass in the creek. The area became the “Go-to-Destination” for thousands of guests. There were bison, wolves, coyotes, bald eagles, golden eagles, and magpies. Rangers had created a viewing area with cones and tape. At times the crowd was silent. Other times, when an animal came into the area, one could hear the camera thunder! All hoped to capture the perfect picture.
This is an Alfa wolf in the area of Slough Creek In Yellowstone National Park. The leaders (dominate male & female) are collared so the park service can trace their location.
