Best place to see a wolf:

Go to the Lamar Valley between Mammoth and Cooke City in the early morning, preferably when it's still dark. Park in a pullout and listen. You will probably hear howling, and you may see the wolves in this vast, open sagebrush area as they hunt for breakfast. Goosebumps included at no extra charge. Inquire locally for updated information.

How to tell a coyote from a wolf:

Wolves are much larger than coyotes. A wolf resembles a massive German shepherd, with a larger head and more massive legs. Coyotes appear more delicate and are usually dark gray with rust or brown. Wolves can be these colors as well, but also sport the white or black coats.

How to tell a raven from a crow:

The American crow and the raven are types of crow or Corvidae. A Raven’s feathers are blackish blue or purple and their bodies are larger than a crow’s. A raven’s tail is pointy, and a crow’s tail is rounded. This is easier to spot when they are flying. A crow’s voice is repetitive, and a raven’s voice varies. Crows tend to tolerate populated spaces, and ravens prefer solitude. A raven may live up to 30 years, while a crow’s life is typically less than 10 years long.

How to tell a mule or white tailed deer from an elk:

Elk have an average of 12 points on their antlers, whereas deer usually have only eight points. Elk have larger bodies and usually have a much thicker neck. Elk are more dirt brown in color, while deer are usually a rich tan. An elk’s head is much taller, while a deer’s is more narrow and pointed.

Bison and buffalo:

“Buffalo” is the popular name often used to describe North American bison, however this is a misnomer. In fact, buffalo are distinctly different animals from bison. Although both bison and buffalo belong to the same family, Bovidae, true buffalo are native only to Africa and Asia.
