Deer and Moose (Yellowstone)

Today I'll post something for a meme I've never joined before, Camera Critters. Just outside the cabin we stayed at for our last couple of days in Yellowstone, we saw a lot of deer. They were remarkably unafraid of people, although it's suggested that they not be approached, since they can be quite dangerous.
The whole time we were there we wanted to see a moose, but we didn't while we were in the park. On the way to Jackson we passed through a tiny town called Moose, and that's where we saw not one, but three! They were a little way away so it's not a great shot, but at least we saw them.
For lots more creature photos, visit the Camera Critters meme.

    So funny, that you first saw some mooses in the tiny town named Moose!! The town's name is maybe based on many mooses around there?
    Very fantastic photos you've got here! =) But really... can the deer get dangerous?? I din not know. I got to see many deers on our holiday trip this summer, but unfortunately too bad photos.. Yes, we saw mooses as well.. :) Have a nice night!
