I took my brother there a few years back and he was astonished to learn that the American Antelope (Pronghorn) is a real thing. He learned when one darted in front of the car and almost clobbered us.

Got some better closeups of the Yellowstone grizzlies later on our trip. Granted, these were in the American Museum of Natural History. (The Ghost of Teddy Roosevelt has loomed large on this road trip.)
