Funny, scary, and touching true stories from Yellowstone wildlife photographers, rangers, guides, and trackers who've accidentally come face-to-face with grizzly bears and bison, who've camped out in -70 degree temperatures, and much more. From a Wall Street Journal best-selling author and wildlife photographer whose award-wining Yellowstone imagery is displayed in the Smithsonian.©2017 Carolyn Jourdan and Sandy Sisti (P)2017 Carolyn Jourdan and Sandy Sisti Animals Biological Sciences Environmentalists & Naturalists Outdoors & Nature Professionals & Academics Science Funny Heartfelt Feel-Good

I am a hunter and I can’t tolerate people who think you can’t shoot a animal. Otherwise it’s interesting.

I wanted to learn more about the animals of YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. This audiobook did help me achieve that goal. The various authors — rangers, animal photographers, wildlife “followers” and experts — share anecdotes about the animal population, and specific long-term residents of the park. Several anecdotes illustrate the danger of getting too close to wild animals. They provide information on how to behave if you encounter a bear or a bison and how to interpret their body language, warning signals, etc. Some of the stories are heartrending, especially when animals are put down because of human interactions. Some of the stories overlap with others in content. Not a bad thing, I guess, but it occasionally felt repetitive and a bit disjointed.
Narration is fine. Content is nothing special in terms of style, but it’s still interesting and informative.

Very informative and easy to listen to. I'd like to find more books by the same authors.

Delightfully entertaining. Great for a roadtrip and it is a great reminder that our National Parks are still wild places. Great stories and I enjoyed the narration as well.

I guess for those of us who alredy know how dangerous wild animals can be and also have a healthy respect for them and want only their best it can get a little tiresome to red a book where you feel constantly lectured on these points. I do understand that some people need to be told repeatedly. Aside from this I found the book very entertaining and informative and extremely interesting.

Great book

Yellowstone Life Cycles

What did you like best about this story?

The stories of life in Yellowstone National Park. The personalities of the bears and other animals, the interaction of Nature, Wildlife, the Park Service and visitors. Makes me want to be there too!

Which scene was your favorite?

The first story of Scarface, then the discovery of familial connections!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me appreciate our National Parks, and how lucky we are to have them. And our obligation to preserve them for generations to come.

Any additional comments?

In my opinion, this Audible work is worth the credit and my listening time. It is certainly worth many relistenings!

Animal Personalities, the Majesty of Yellowstone

Dangerous Beauty was a great listen and justly titled. This is somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Listening to this audiobook and the wonderful stories put me there aside from snapping my own photos. The heartwarming short stories were about bear, bison, moose, wolves, pronghorn sheep, birds, the elements, the majesty, the hazzards, tourists and more. A few of the stories were somewhat frightening, all were fascinating. There were several things (facts) I didn't know and was pleased to learn. I wonder if these were from journal entries or memories. Either way this was a thoroughly enjoyable book by Carolyn Jourdan and Sandy Sisti.

Eric Martin's narration was excellent. He spoke clearly and was easy on the ears. He had a nice tone and was the perfect reader for this audiobook.

Great little essays about Yellowstone. I'm planning a trip this summer and want to go somewhere, anywhere other than inside my house. This book is a temporary respite for days to come post Covid. Like listening to Nat Geo.
