The One About South Dakota

This is Beauty, the mammoth. The mammoth place was fascinating. This particular one is called Beauty because it is almost perfect. There’s a tiny tip missing off one tusk but the skull is otherwise intact with few cracks.

This is a photo of a Bighorn Sheep. We came across three perched on a rock on the side of the road. They were males and argued over the choice bits of tree leaves with loud clashes of horns.

This unknown critter caused great consternation when it tried to stick its head inside the car to investigate me at closer quarters. I moved very quickly to close the window! Hubby couldn’t stop laughing and took this photo.

    The mammoth fossil is awesome, and the young Bighorn Sheep was curious. I bet some other human fed it something before you came along. Or maybe you just had a tantilizing aroma.

    Wow! SD is breathtaking. I visited there a couple of years ago and can’t wait to go back.
