Photo Of The Day By Clayton Peoples

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Grizzly in Meadow” by Clayton Peoples. Location: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

“A wild grizzly bear grazes in a meadow in Yellowstone National Park,” describes Peoples. “This grizzly bear emerged from the forest and grazed in a meadow adjacent to a road in Yellowstone, causing a ‘bear jam.’ I pulled over in a safe spot (an area designated for parking) across the road from its location and got out my super-zoom camera and started snapping photos. This was one of my favorites. Although it’s a fierce predator, I believe this photo showcases the fact that despite its ‘predator’ status, it’s a beautiful animal that deserves protection.”
