Yellowstone National Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the entire country. This park is most famous for its world renowned collection of geysers. Yellowstone is a mountain wildland, housing grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk; the park is the core of one of the last natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone. I would just like to comment and say how interesting this is to me; its amazing to believe that this land has remained out of the human influence for the history of time.
Yellowstone’s diverse wildlife is almost as famous as its geysers. There are over 60 species of mammals, including 7 species of native hoofed mammals, 2 species of bears, over 300 species of birds, 16 species of fish, 4 species of amphibians, and 6 species of reptiles. Yellowstone has been able to blossom into this diverse melting pot of mammals due to the everlasting ecosystem it has been.
Yellowstone national park is near the top of my list of places in the world to visit. It has so many different and unique aspects of nature to offer. I have always wanted to see a geyser, as well as hot springs. I also think that it would be unbelievable to stand in a place seemingly unfazed by the human touch over time.
