Bear Country USA is a drive-through wildlife park in the Black Hills of South Dakota, near Rapid City. The lovely Robin and I visited last week with a couple new and good friends--and loved it!

The grounds also feature a "babyland," where young ocelots, beavers, porcupines, red foxes, coyotes, bears, bobcats, and more are cared for. We happened to be there when feeding time began, which was fascinating to watch.
I loved watching the red foxes--three females--and otters, among others. I could have pulled up a chair and just watched and watched. But, you know, they had a gift shop and--well, I have a wife. And grandkids. So...
