Among its geysers, hot springs, and breathtaking landscapes, one of its most iconic inhabitants is the American bison. Commonly called the buffalo (even though it's very distantly related to the true buffalo of Africa and Asia), these majestic creatures, with their massive frames and serene presence, are not only a symbol of the American West but also a...

It sounds like “Marty the Moose” may not be the lone moose in New Mexico anymore. We covered Marty last year as he traveled across northern New Mexico, garnering tons of attention, as moose are not a native to New Mexico’s landscape.

It's a bear-eat-elk world out there.

Nature and the circle of life aren't as fun as cartoons and movies make them out to be. Out in the real world, animals are either looking for food, or they are the food. Usually, it's both. And unfortunately for the young animals that are out there, they are the easiest of targets when predators are searching for a meal.
