ON THE COVER
Some moments photographing wildlife become cherished
memories. The photographer was returning to his pickup
after failing to get close enough to photograph some
pronghorn. This fawn spotted him and quickly trotted his
way to investigate. Stopping at 25 yards, the fawn stared
at the photographer before quickly running off, but the
photographer was able to capture three images during
the encounter. Settings used for this photo: Canon EOS-1D
Mark II, 1/640 sec, f/4, ISO 160. (Photo by Tim Christie)

Wildlife Habitat Management Area near Wheatland.

temperature. Samples collected may include swabs
taken from tonsils, nostrils and ears, along with blood
and feces. (Photo by Patrick Owen/WGFD)
Wyoming's rivers
The state's seven native mussel
species are critically important,
and imperiled.

It can be difficult to tell which
animal behaviors are learned
and which are instinct.
