Funny, no one has mentioned Yellowstone's most vicious creature, the Culicidae. For the non-PHDs and Google Challenged, that is the mosquito. One of the funniest scenes I have personally encountered in Yellowstone was being behind a Jeep when stuck in a Buffalo Jam. It was in the perfect spot, a low, wet area on a calm day. You could see the black cloud descending upon us all. For me, a simple push on the power window buttons prevented the inevitable draining of all my bodily fluids. For the Jeep, not so much. They were apparently very ill-prepared and were tearing apart that jeep looking for anything to cover their exposed flesh. (I though about tossing them a can of OFF, but hey, Mosquitos got to eat too. Circle of Life and all)
