Call of the Wild Itinerary

Find Wyoming Wildlife Across the State.

Viewing wildlife in Wyoming provides an exciting and diverse experience for visitors. Count how many of our more than 100 mammal species and 400 bird species you can spot.

Also, be sure to observe responsibly. For the safety and comfort of both animals and people, stay at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves and at least 25 yards away from all other animals. If an animal changes its behavior or seems nervous at your presence, it’s time to back away and leave the area.
