This raven was entertaining himself sliding down the roof of West Yellowstone's public library.
Note: West Yellowstone was incorporated in 1966 but has existed as a gateway community to Yellowstone National Park since the early 1900s.
The most recent census reported that West Yellowstone has a population of approximately 1200 people, but winters are extreme and that number slides a bit during the colder months.
As the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states, the Greater Yellowstone Area is home to many wild creatures, from large mammals to tiny birds. Depending on the season, some animals are more visible than others.
Yellowstone has the largest known concentration of free-roaming wildlife in the lower 48 states. In fact, the northern range is known to many as the “Serengeti of North America.” With the reintroduction of the gray wolf in 1995, Yellowstone regained all the wildlife mammals that were here when the area was first explored in 1805-1806.
