Yellowstone Wildlife

This is a lovely family of elk we came across on our drive through Yellowstone. Sadly, this was about it for the wildlife we got close enough to see real well. My Dad spotted a buffalo on our way back through, but we weren't anywhere close enough to snap a decent photo.
I enjoyed reading some papers we received after paying to enter the park some of which read:

"Warning: 100 people a year are gored by buffalo.
Buffalo can run up to 30 miles an hour. That's faster than you can run.
Wildlife is unpredictable and untamed."

"Did you remember your bear pepper spray?
Do you know how and when to use it?"

Just a little pleasant reading I did...
