Discover Animal Facts
Roosevelt elk (named for President Theodore Roosevelt) are social members of the deer family that can form very large herds.
Red foxes look like a small dog, with a reddish-yellow coat, bushy white-tipped tails. They can also be black, silver or a red-silver cross.
Beavers are large rodents, with blonde to black fur. They have small ears and eyes, and a long, horizontally flattened, paddle-shaped and scaly tail.
The moose is the tallest wild animal in North America, easily identified by their broad antlers, prehensile muzzle and throat dewlap.
During rut (breeding) season, bighorn rams head-butt with a loud crack to prove dominance. Don’t try this at home – bighorns have specially-adapted skulls and neck to prevent injury.
Like cows, bison ferment food in a special stomach.
