Wild Animals

Wild animals at airports

I’ve been collecting photos to go with a slideshow that will go alongside an article about airports and national parks  and wild animals keep popping up.

This one was snapped just outside the terminal doors at Yellowstone Airport (WYS) in West Yellowstone, Montana, by airport manager Jeff Kadlec one night as he was trying to leave work.

And this one of a moose outside the baggage claim doors at Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) in Jackson, Wyoming was taken by airport employee Philip Bollman.

The full story about airports near National Parks – and the slideshow that also includes Mountain Cougar and goats in airports – will be my next At the Airport column on USA TODAY.  I’ll let you know when it posts.
