Hey kids! There are many cool animals and plants in Grand Teton National Park. Let's see if you know what some of them are. Read the descriptions below and then click on the link to find out what the animal or plant is.

I am a large rodent, about the size of a small housecat, and I like to eat flowers and plants. I double my body weight during the summer to fatten up for the winter. I am a true hibernator; I sleep through the long, cold winters. I love to eat and then lie on a rock in the sun and some say I have a yellow belly.

Who Am I? (<<Click on the link to find out who I am.)

I am a member of the rabbit family and I live in a rocky habitat. My ears are short and round, but large relative to my head. My tail is invisible. You often hear my shrill alarm, “Enk! Enk!” before you see me. I remain active throughout the year and spend the summer gathering vegetation and drying it out in “haystacks” for food during winter.

I have a slender body with short legs and dense, rich fur. I am a fast swimmer and can hold by breath up to 3 minutes. During the winter, I love to slide on the snow on my belly. I eat aquatic animals, including fish, frogs, turtles, and crayfish. I like to make my den in the bank of a stream.

I am the largest member of the deer family, standing at 6-7 feet at the shoulder. My huge antlers are flat and resemble paddles. I prefer to browse on buds, twigs, bark, and leafy vegetation. I often am seen in or near water where I submerge to find food or get rid of pesky insects. I can run 35 mph.
