Lions and Tigers and Bears?! Oh my!

The next stop we made in South Dakota was a small park called Bear Country USA. This was an area (250 acres) that was the home to various wildlife (black bear, elk, reindeer, deer, cougars, bobcats, rocky mountain goats, bighorn sheep, dall sheep and buffalo to name a few). Though I'm not a fan of keeping animals encaged, I have to say that this family run business was well maintained and given the acreage, the animals had more than enough stomping ground to leave their mark!

Party time!!

They enjoyed climbing the tree and knocking each other off the limbs.
