We are wrapping up the long holiday weekend today and Buster is ready for all the belly rubs.

I know I’m a little behind on messages, if I don’t get back today it will definitely be by tomorrow evening. We are hoping to finish up a project tonight after all encounters.

Another very long dawn until dusk day. We started the day getting hay and sandstone delivered. Jumped into encounters and finished the day working on the new bobcat enclosure. We had some of the best supervisors today.

Nothing represents America quite like the American Bison. They have a very complex and tragic history in the United States but can still be seen in the wild out west. These stunning animals can take your breath away, especially if you try to pet the fluffy cows in Yellowstone (helpful hint: don’t do that).

Did you know that scientifically bison are native to the United States and buffalo are native to Africa and Asia.

Make sure to stop and say hi to Hettie and Ellowen.

Happy 4th of July!

Did you know red fox were not common to the United States? They were brought over by European settlers in the 1700’s for sport hunting and they quickly spread throughout the states.

Atlas is still considered a red fox although he has a genetic mutation causing him to have this beautiful coat color.

Happy World Porcupine Day!

Did you know there are 29 species of porcupine throughout the world? Only one species is native to the United States and Canada- the North American Porcupine- which scientists believe they evolved during the beginning of the ice ages.

We have been incredibly lucky to have worked with four of the 29 species. Here are just some of my favorite pictures of them.
