Moose are fun to watch โ from a distance. Thank you to Colleen Burns for sharing this footage she captured at a lake in the Wasatch Mountains yesterday! #Utah
We recently released this family of beavers โ 2 adults, 2 juveniles and 2 kits โ in northern #Utah. They should be hard at work, restoring a stream to its natural state, making it better for the #trout that live there!
