Animals
There are lots of different kinds of fascinating and breathtaking animals at Theodore Roosevelt National park that you won't see in many other places.
What animals might you see when you visit the park? There are photos and common names of many of the mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds that inhabit the park here.
Some of the animals listed don't have photos or scientific names--key information to help correctly identify them.. You can look up animals by common name to find photos and more information about them at this website.
WARNING: The animals in the park are wild and potentially quite dangerous. You must be careful and never get too close when drawing them or taking their pictures. Don't attempt to touch or feed any wild animals in the park. Bison are particularly treacherous and safest when viewed from inside your parents' car!

Birding
Birds can be harder to capture in sketches and photographs, because they're so flighty. Since they're very fast and skittish, most people document the birds they see with a Bird Checklist, like this one. Print it off and take it with you to help you keep track of the birds you encounter!
To help you identify the birds of the badlands, you'll need a field guide, like this one by Stan Tekiela..

If you want a copy of your very own, it's available for purchase here (talk to your parents about how much it would enrich your experience in the badlands!)
