Geography
Old Faithful
Yellowstone Lake
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone: The canyon is 800 to 1,200 feet deep and 1,500 to 4,000 feet wide. The Yellowstone River is the force that created the canyon and the falls. It begins on the slopes of Yount Peak, south of the park, and travels more than 600 miles to its terminus in North Dakota where it empties into the Missouri River. (

Wolves

)
Roughly a fifth of Yellowstone’s wolf population was gone, with one pack seemingly eliminated entirely. It was a death toll unlike anything Smith and his colleagues had seen since wolves were reintroduced to the Northern Rockies in the 1990s.

Safety in Bear Country Programs, Yellowstone Park Ranger Talks, a World-Class Bear museum, intriguing films and presentations. All the animals at the Center are unable to survive in the wild for different reasons and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.
Prey

.)
In Yellowstone, 90% of their winter prey is elk. In the summer, 10 to 15% of their summer prey is deer. They also can kill bison.
Ecosystem
Temperate ecosystems are characterized by obvious seasonality in temperature, with cooler winters and warmer summers, and also may show distinct seasonality in precipitation patterns, resulting from seasonal changes in the orientation of Earth's axis relative to the sun.
The terrain is covered with snow for much of the year and supports forests dominated by lodgepole pine and interspersed with alpine meadows. Sagebrush steppe and grasslands on the park's lower-elevation ranges provide essential winter forage for elk, bison, and bighorn sheep
Yellowstone is home to more than 200 species of animals, from grizzly bears to bald eagles. Bison, wolves, bears, elk and nearly 60 other species of mammals roam their natural habitat. We're also home to more than 300 species of birds, 16 species of fish, six species of reptiles and four species of amphibians.

Human Influence (III. People, Places, and Environment)
Humans have influenced the land and wildlife of the Northern Range for at least 11,000 years. Human impacts from hunting, burning, fur trapping, mining, ranching, recreation, and fish and wildlife management have shaped the Northern Range ecosystem.
There are three main sources of impact left on national parks by tourists: depletion of national resources, pollution, and physical impacts. Tourism generates land degradation, air and noise pollution, littering, trampling and the alternation of ecosystems.
human activity can have many negative effects on Yellowstone’s ecosystem. The presence of humans in the park has caused many animals to become vulnerable to disease. Human interaction with the ecosystem has rapidly spread disease to Yellowstone’s wildlife, which has proven to have adverse effects on populations.
