In South Dakota we saw some donkeys! We think they were descendants from donkeys that were released in the park. We saw a cute little baby one! When I snuggled him, his fur was so soft!
We also saw prairie dogs. They had tiny, cute claws and a black tipped tail. I loved them so much I got a prairie dog stuffed animal named Gary.
Next, we saw some bison. Did you know that bison are a type of buffalo? We were going on a morning walk and talking about airplanes when I accidentally almost ran into one.
While we were driving into Yellowstone, we saw a bighorn sheep. It had some big curly horns. I thought it was extra cute. He was on the side of the road.
We have seen many elk on our trip. Most were female but we saw one male with big antlers. It had darker fur on its neck.
Yesterday we saw a mule deer. apparently, Audrey saw one this morning. Mule deer have big ears It walked right through the campsite!

So cool! Hope you guys are doing good!
I’m always amazed at the agility of those sheep – they can RUN on very rocky ground! And I’m glad you didn’t run into that bison – it might not have been fun.
What did the daddy bison say to his boy when he left?
“Bye-son”!
These are so cute!
