Hold on…internet connection is a bit ruff.

Pets are an important member of the family. If you are planning to bring a furry family member on your trip to a park, make sure you are prepared to follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger code.
The code helps protect you, your pet, and the park. If the activities you have planned for your visit do not allow for pets or are unsafe, consider leaving them at home. However, ⁣at many parks, your dog can earn a BARK Ranger tag if their human will help.

Dude, nice marmot! Did you know the yellow-bellied marmot is nicknamed a “whistle pig” for the high-pitched chirp they make to warn other group members about potential threats?
Marmots are large ground squirrels that typically live on grass plains and mountains. They are famous for digging burrows and hibernate for a significant part of the year.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!! 🌀🌀

The Sonoran desert toad (Bufo alvarius) is one of the largest toads found in North America, measuring nearly 7 inches (18 cm). Will it hypnotize you with its large oscillating multicolored eyes? That’s just silly….MUST SHARE TOAD FACTS!!! Nighttime view of toad star...
What sound does it make? Its call has been described as a “weak, low-pitched toot, lasting less than a second.”

Ooops! Pardon me.
These toads have prominent parotoid glands that secrete a potent toxin. It can make you sick if you handle the frog or get the poison in your mouth.
