Pictures of Bear Country USA, a 'drive thru' bear park near Rapid City, and no don't panic we didn't ride the bikes - they had a courtesy car that we could borrow.

And then there were the bear cubs... mostly running around stumbling over each other, but this one did stop for a scratch.

Of course there are plenty of other native animals including raccoons, elk, deer, longhorn sheep, bison, attic foxes sand Arctic wolves. Me, I found the lone artic wolf the most interesting, he was just too cool for the rest of the pack.
