America’s Greatest Animals / Our Big Five
Bison, King of the Mist, Yellowstone National Park, WY 2010
I never know where inspiration for a blog post might originate. I enjoy watching the nature channels on cable to see places I have been and to plan for places to shoot in the future. Recently, I was watching a National Geographic television show www.nationalgeographic.com on Nat Geo Wild (@natgeowild) called America’s Greatest Animals. The premise of the show was to identify America’s version of Africa’s “Big 5” animals. By the end of the show, the final list was revealed (spoiler alert!): Polar Bear, Grizzly, Wolf, Bison and Moose.
Although some may disagree as to which animals should be on the list, I realized I had classic images of each animal they had chosen. So, to celebrate America’s Big 5, without further ado:
Wolf Shake, 2010 Polar Bear, 2009
Grizzly, 2004 Bull Moose, 2010

Awesome! Its in fact remarkable article, I have got much clear idea about from
this piece of writing.
I was watching this on Nat Geo…what a joke.
First of all, they didn’t include the Polar Bear. The largest carnivore on Earth.
Next they snubbed the Cougar….but included the wolf. That’s like putting a Hyena above a Lion, or Wild Dogs above Lions. Yeah, yeah, I know the Wolf fans will get upset, but 1 on 1…you know the Cougar wins.
Lastly, they don’t even know how to read a map. American…or even, more specifically, North America does include Central America….now with that being said, doesn’t anyone think that the Jaguar, the 3rd largest Cat in the world, should be left off the list?
My big 5:
Polar Bear
Grizzly Bear
Bison
Jaguar
Cougar
If I had to pick a 6th, I would put the Moose above the Wolf.
Well written comment from someone who clearly knows the subject. I also like the big cats. These images and more can be viewed in my Series: Of the Wild at http://www.barrystevengreff.com Thanks for stopping by the blog.
