Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Tour - Jackson Hole West Yellowstone

 

What are Yellowstone Ecosystem and Yellowstone Ecosystem Tours?  The Yellowstone Ecosystem Tour allows you to explore wildlife, landscapes, and vegetation that remained relatively intact for hundreds of thousands of years!  Let us examine the relationship of microbes, wildlife, and humans with each other, their relationship with vegetation, thermal features, and the environment of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  Our guides will introduce you to the 2.2 million acres of Yellowstone National Park, and the 310,000 acres of the Grand Teton National Park.  The two parks, the National Forests, and state forests surrounding the National Parks are known as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.  Tours begin from Jackson, Teton Village, and West Yellowstone.

 

Here is a partial synopsis of the ecosystem:

  • Birds feed on insects.  

  • Squirrels feed on nuts.

  • Otters survive on fish.

  • Swans too feed on fish.

  • Golden Eagles feed on mountain goat kids, lambs, and fish.

  • Bald eagles feed on dead bighorn sheep lambs and fish.

  • Fish depends on rivers, lakes, insects, and underwater grass.

  • Humans with permits, fish in the rivers and hunt.

  • Certain animals such as marmots and goats live in mountains.

  • Geysers and hot springs - habitat for thermophiles. 

  • Bison gather around hot springs for warmth in the winter.

  • Various pine trees, aspen, and willows - provide sanctuary for birds and rodents.

  • Bears feed on other animals as well as nuts and grass. 

  • Bears dig up nuts stored by squirrels for food.

  • Moose depends on sagebrush, willows, and wetland grass.

  • Elk, bison, antelope, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep feed on grass.

  • Wolves feed on elk, bison, and other animals, thus keeping the wildlife population in check.
