Yellowstone Plants and Animals

Yellowstone National Park is at the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.  It is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states as well as hundreds of wildflowers, nine conifers, shrubs like common juniper, sagebrush (many species), Rocky Mountain maple, and three endemic species (found only in Yellowstone). Keep an eye out for some of the flora and fauna you might spot while touring Yellowstone. And check out these blogs for further reading on bison, elk, bears, and wolves.
