I haven’t contributed to this blog in an unforgivably long time. Part of the reason for this is that I spent most of September traveling. One of the places I visited was Yellowstone National Park. It was a brief but memorable trip to Yellowstone’s back country, where I saw a grizzly bear and shared a camp site with rutting elk (that means mating). When elk are “in the rut” they make a sound akin to women screaming all night long.
It was an amazing experience, and since getting home I have been obsessing over Yellowstone. Enter Netflix Instant Watch. This BBC special called “Yellowstone: The Battle For Life” is an awesome three part series that documents the wildlife through the seasons (including the screaming elk in “Autumn”). Each episode is a season, but they’ve skipped spring for some reason. Maybe Yellowstone doesn’t have a spring. The animals who live in Yellowstone have bizarre and fascinating lives. I suggest you investigate.
