Yellowstone, the first national park in the world
The world's first National Park, created in 1872 and second largest natural park in the United States, Yellowstone National Park is one of the places to visit if you are in love with nature. Located on horseback on three states (Wyoming, Idaho and Montana), it is notably known for its many geysers, which are in 300 numbers, which represents 2/3 of these hot sources of water present on Earth, according to UNESCO.
Other equally imposing mammals
Many other species of mammals also live in this natural park, which measures more than 8,900 km². Indeed, grizzlys, as well as black bears, known to be smaller than other species such as white bears or brown bears, with a size between 100 and 120 cm.
The gray wolf is also noticeable in Yellowstone park. Introduced in the mid -1990s, he played a beneficial role in the balance of the Parc ecosystem, notably by participating in the development of the vegetation that surrounds it. The momentum, the coyote, the red fox, or even the elk, which is the mammal with the most individuals (around 15,000), also take the national park as a habitat.
Birds also present in number
The fauna present in Yellowstone is also made up of many species of birds. 311 species have been identified, with known birds such as the famous white head pygargue, the emblem of the United States, but also rarer species.
This is the case of the Huard dive, a bird that frequents lakes and large ponds, the pilgrim hawk, which is the fastest raptor of the animal kingdom, or the white pelican. The park also has a little less than twenty species of fish, 6 species of reptiles and 4 species of amphibians.
