Moose Black Bears

Black bears have tall, pointed ears, no distinctive shoulder hump, and weigh 200-plus pounds. Cubs, born mid-winter, weigh less than a pound. Black bears are great tree climbers. Bears don’t hibernate. They go into a deep sleep, called torpor, but their body temperature doesn’t drop as low as that of true hibernation. The best places to view black bears are Signal Mountain and Jenny Lake in summer.

Pronghorn

The moose is the largest antlered animal in the world. Bulls weigh up to 1,200 pounds. Most moose are solitary, but you may see them in small groups. Moose can eat up to 70 pounds of vegetation a day. Their main defense mechanisms are their hooves. The best places to view moose in summer are the Willow Flats and along river corridors and sagebrush flats in winter.
