Badlands National Park<\/a> not only boast beautiful scenery, but also plentiful opportunities to view wildlife<\/a>. \u00a0We met the\u00a0Western Meadowlark, mule and white-tailed deer, bighorn sheep, and many prairie dogs. \u00a0The Prairie Dogs are quite entertaining to watch…our favorite wildlife in the park. \u00a0We didn’t spy any bobcat, coyote, pronghorn or bison.\u00a0 We heard a lot of coyotes. \u00a0Here are a few shots of the wildlife we experienced.<\/p>\n
