Yellowstone National Park

Yellow Stone National Park 10:00am

A park ranger, Mike, is coming form Yellow Stone National Park to answer some question that we have. he telling us that over 3,000 years ago native Americans  lived on this land. Many explorers have came through the land but not until the 1872 that it was named a national park.

1995 started the lack of rain, which conflicted with many animals and plants. The plants had a decrease, so that meant elk, beavers and rodents were decreasing in population. one of his most dangerous experiences was coming almost in contact with a grizzle bear! They have about 300  geyser, and two of the biggest ones are Old Faithful, and Steamboat geyser.  He was explaining how only male deer and moose have antlers, and the female do not have any. Bears are now trying to come out of hibernation to try to find food, and introducing their cubs to the new world!

Yellow Stone was the very first national parks, it was a park before all the four states became states. The reason that the states never became states until the 1800s because of all the Hot springs and geysers. There is a Giant Volcano underneath Yellow Stone, it is still active, and They have no way to prepare for a eruption in 2017, yet. Most people think that Yellow Stone was named that because of all yellow you see in the rocks and the hot springs, but really it was named after a river that was called Yellow Stone but it goes back all the way to the native Americans, when they settled on that river.
