This is because of the potential unpredicted threats to the existing organisms. Scientist and citizens have closely monitored changes that…

How would someone describe the snowy mountains of Yellowstone National Park, Montana? Everything is covered in snow, the white frosted ground crunching underneath the boots of people. Every tree is covered in layers of snow, an avalanche happening every time the branches slightly swayed. Buffalo would roam around like cattle would on a farm. Everything is frozen, turning the fingers and faces of young and old a bright red. The hot springs and geysers showering mist on the nearby flora covering…

the desert. But the wolves I’m talking about are located in Yellow Stone National Park in the USA. Yellow Stone is in the state of Wyoming. These wolves can be found on the edge of the park and in the very center of the park.
