Young Wildlife – Moose, Marmot, Pronghorn, Red Fox and Wild Horses

Sky Line Drive and Wasatch Mountain Journeys
I might need to go wandering up the canyons and Sky Line Drive soon just to see what birds and creatures I can find.

Why a Moose should not Kiss a Porcupine
Why would a Moose (Alces alces) kiss a Porcupine? I'm really not sure, perhaps this Moose cow was curious about a slow-moving Porcupine on the ground and got a touch too close.
Creatures Great and Small – Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
There are many mammals to see at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in Montana, I haven't seen them all yet but I hope to one day. On this last trip I saw Moose, Elk, Skunks, Ground Squirrels, Chipmunks, Foxes, White-tailed and Mule Deer, Yellow-bellied Marmots, and Pronghorns.
