Lynx, Long Sought in Yellowstone National Park, Is Caught on Film

One of the most mysterious creatures of the boreal forest, the lynx historically has been tied to Yellowstone National Park. But in recent years, its existence in the park has been hard to document, tied only to a few paw prints and DNA coaxed from scat and hairs. Now park biologists have a photograph to add to their evidence.

Former Park Service Director Mainella: Interior Department Called Yellowstone Snowmobile Decisions

Former National Park Service Director Fran Mainella says her bosses in the Interior Department in effect tied her hands on the question of recreational snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park. And now she says science should have the final say in whether snowmobiling continues to be allowed in the park.

Elk in Yellowstone

I know we are headed towards winter, so this photo isn't totally time appropriate, but I found myself thinking about Elk in Yellowstone this past weekend. I did a search on Flickr for a good Elk photo and found this one. Looks like it was originally captured on film and then scanned to digital (the photographer says it was shot in '99). I especially like the natural backlight, the color of the grasses, and the spacing between the animals. The photo has a very 3 dimensional feel.
