Oh give me a Home, Where the Buffalo roam...

Well I made it to my final destination, well at least for the next 5 months, but I think my adventures have only just begun. I decided to take a look around the new park I will now be working at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I was not driving for ten minutes and I came around a bend to see a wild horse prancing down the road. As I approached he exited and allowed me to pass, but not without posing for a picture. The bison at Custer don't even hold a candle to the bison (buffalo) here. The Roosevelt bison are larger and the coloring is different, but in a good way. I really don't know whats going on with this Mule Deer walking up this cliff... it looks like she got a hair cut by Edward Scissorhands . And of course my little friend the Prairie Dog who lives so very close to the road, but he or she wasn't afraid of me at all... by the way how can you tell the difference between a male and female Prairie Dog, without getting your nose bitten off??? I guess that’s a question for someone in the Natural Resource department.

Well the badlands here are very interesting compared to the ones in South Dakota. They have more ground vegetation living on them, which I think makes it more habitable for small and large cliff dwelling animals. As I was driving along I saw chipmunks and rabbits hopping in and out of cracks and holes looking for the perfect home for them.

Well my new home is definitely where the buffalos roam, and the deer and the antelope play.... among with a hundred other species. I just pray I don't wake up one morning with a Prairie Dog in my bed.
