JACKSON, Wyo. — Cue the national anthem!
Grand Teton National Park is joining the rest of the world in celebrating the beginning of the Summer Olympics with a cheeky social media post.
“Grand Teton National Park’s Olympic Dream Team!” the park posted on Facebook. “Today we introduce the swim team.”
“Coming in for the 400m Freestyle: the American Beaver,” GTNP wrote. “This may be the second-largest rodent in the world, but it’s first in our hearts.”
“Leading the team for the 100m Butterfly is the River Otter,” GTNP wrote. “Don’t underestimate those cute faces, this mammal shows no mercy.”
“Aptly named, the Cutthroat Tout’s 100m Breaststroke truly is cutthroat,” the park posted.
The Olympics will run through Sunday, Aug. 11, unfolding in Paris. In 2034, the games will be much closer to Jackson: they’ll be held in Salt Lake City.
