Plants • The plants in the Teton park grow from the rivers to the top of the mountains. • Cottonwood trees grow along the Snake River. Blue spruce take over them. The cottonwood trees grow again and it happens over and over again. • Fires burn down 1000s of trees, but the forest grows again. • Animals affect the plants and nature. Beavers chop down trees for their dams and the trees clog up the river. The river dries up and the trees have less of a chance of getting water so they die. • The plants are different because of the soil and climate of the area. Water • The Snake River is a quiet, winding river in the Grand Teton Park full of Cutthroat trout. • Cutthroat trout grow to the length of 18 inches and weigh over 1 pound. • Eagles, moose, and beavers are often seen at the side of rivers. • All the boats that are going in the water need to have a park permit. • If people want to go fishing, they need to have a Wyoming State License. Cycle of Life • The birds in the park are free range so sometimes they go to farms nearby and take some chickens away. • The farmers get mad at the birds and try to shoot them. • Small animals work together to keep each other safe. • When a predator is near, a lookout would warn all the other small animals in the area. • Every animal has a special place in the park. Solar Energy • Plants store solar energy in their stems, leaves, blades, and flowers. • When a plant eater gets eaten by a meat eater, the solar energy in the plant eater becomes energy in the meat eater. • When animals die, their bodies decay and enrich the soil. • Animals of all sizes eat plants to live. When they eat plants, the solar energy is then transferred to the animal. Mountain Climbing • Grand Teton is a favorite place for mountain climbers. • There you can learn how to climb mountains without a rope. • Looking for cracks in the mountains, you inch your way to the top. • You need to have a permit to climb the mountains and to do any off-trail hiking in the park. Moose • Except for buffalo, the biggest plant eating animal is the moose. • The bull moose looks clumsy but his long legs can carry him as fast as a horse. • Moose like to be alone except in winter and in fall when they might be in small groups. • Many moose go hungry. • During the winter, the weak and old moose die and their dead bodies mean survival for the meat eaters. Fun Facts • The Teton Park is open all year long. • It took more than 1,000,000 years for nature to make the mountains. • Osprey nests are on dead trees near the Snake River. • At night there is a campfire program where you can hear about the animals in the Teton Park.
