Dear I-
How are you? I hope you are having a good week.
I am so excited to tell you about all of the animals I saw today! First, I saw two baby mule deer drinking milk from their mother. I was surprised to see deer in the middle of the day. I should also mention that the deer weren't in a forest. Instead, they were next to travertine hot springs (hot springs where the minerals in the water made cool formations).
Next, I saw buffalo! When driving in the park, you can just look out your window and see herds of them. A park ranger told me that there are about 3,000 of them in the park. Many people pull off of the road and park in order to see these animals better. That's what I did. I watched a herd of buffalo migrate from one side of the road to the other. It is so funny to watch what happens when a buffalo walks into the middle of the road. The cars have to stop, and the buffalo kind of just hang out, annoying the drivers. A car can sit there waiting for a long time before the buffalo decides to move.
At night on the way out of the park to the only available campground, I saw a pronghorn antelope and a fox! I went to a spot that often has wolves, but I didn't see any. I wonder what kind of animals I will see tomorrow.
I hope your week is going well, and I look forward to hearing about what you are doing.
Your teacher
Elaina
