JACKSON, Wyo. — Part of what makes life in Jackson so special is getting the chance to encounter wildlife as part of our day-to-day existence.

Buckrail photographer Nick Sulzer has a real nose for animal news, and he travels all over the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to get the best shots. Enjoy this compilation of some of his most memorable animal sightings of 2025.

Looking for more animal content as we say farewell to 2025? Some other highlights: bighorn sheep getting the zoomies; a little bear stretching in a tree; mountain lions hanging out in a Wilson yard; bison and red dogs stampeding; and a moose family cooling off in a river. See the WYOWatch and SNAPPED categories on Buckrail for endless entertainment.
