11 Incredible Wildlife Photos from Yellowstone National Park

While National Park tourists often forget that wildlife routinely hunt and kill other animals to survive, it’s one element that makes wildlife watching in places like Yellowstone National Park so fascinating. Like wild animals everywhere, those critters live and die by the predator-prey relationship — documented in many of the photos below. This collection was taken by National Park Service photographers, who have captured federal public lands and wild critters across the Western U.S.
