WEBINAR | Autumn in Yellowstone: Wildlife’s Winter Prep Season
Fall is an exciting time in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. As autumn arrives, mammals rev into high gear in preparation for winter. Bears gorge on food, a phase known as hyperphagia, fattening up in advance of hibernation. Elk, bison, and moose begin to rut, when males aggressively attempt to dominate other males in order to earn the right to mate. Science communicator Charlie Reinertsen explores how the season impacts the wildlife we hope to see on Nat Hab’s Hidden Yellowstone & Grand Teton Safari.
WEBINAR | "Lake Trout Kill Elk": An Invasive Species Story
Spend enough time near Yellowstone National Park and you're bound to see the bumper stickers: "Lake Trout Kill Elk." Illegally introduced into Lake Yellowstone in the mid-1990s, non-native lake trout have wreaked havoc in the area ever since. Expedition Leader Charlie Reinertsen shares how the species threatens both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and native wildlife like cutthroat trout and elk. Hear, too, what Yellowstone conservationists are doing to combat invasive aquatic species.
WEBINAR | Counting Sheep: Observing Bighorn Behavior in the Field
Meet the largest wild sheep in North America: the bighorn. These unique ungulates roam throughout the West, from red rock canyons to grassy prairies. Utah wildlife biologist Toni Proescholdt describes the bighorns’ complex social lives, including their sexually segregated herds (rams only join ewes during rut), lamb-rearing practices and the males’ impressive jousting abilities. Find out where you can spot bighorn sheep in the wild (including on our Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon adventures), and learn what to look for when observing them in the field.
