There were many things that I learned from going to Yellowstone. Everybody can read some article or book about Yellowstone itself or how nature operates, but nobody truly learns any of these things until they experience it in person. Spending three days with the tour guides, I ended up learning many different things. However, I learned the most by observing nature in its natural habitat. It may be hard to believe, but I learned more about wolves, bears, bison, etc. by watching them live their lives on their typical schedule.

Looking back at this whole trip I will always remember the wonderful wildlife that I saw throughout all my days in the park. The geothermal features did not do much for me as I had already seen those at another point in my life. However, I got to see many wild animals in that park that I have never seen their before. These animals include the mountain goat, bighorn sheep, gray wolves, trumpeter swan, and mule deer. The one creature that was the most tremendous to view was the gray wolves. When you begin to watch the animals more closely you begin so see how they all impact the ecosystem. Beavers for example will built dams in certain areas causing water to rise creating better vegetation for moose and other species. I was also able to see how the carnivores spent much of their time around the areas with the highest amount of prey for them to consume. The best thing to see about the ecosystem was how every creatures lived in relative harmony next to each other. The bears and wolves live in close proximity to each other, but have found a way to live with each other over the years. The herbivores have also found a way to live with the carnivores over the years.
