In Honor of Ungulates. Yellowstone, Nov '04

Bison seem pretty tough. Here they dine lazily in the middle of a blizzard, on grasses buried beneath a foot of snow.

Lesson 2: Species. There are over 200 species of ungulates on planet earth. 10 native species are found in the lower 48 states of the USA. I encountered 7 of them on this trip. The three I didn't see are the White-tailed Deer, Peccary (see southwest story), and Caribou.
