Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary

Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife education and rehabilitation facility in Red Lodge, Montana, dedicated to caring for animals that cannot be released back into the wild. The sanctuary provides a home for native Montana wildlife and uses its resident animals to teach visitors about local species, conservation, and the importance of protecting natural habitats. Its setting near the Beartooth Mountains connects the visitor experience with the region's landscapes and ecosystems.

The sanctuary's collection includes animals such as grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, mountain lions, birds of prey, and other native species. Visitors can explore the sanctuary's trails and habitats while learning about individual animals, their histories, and the reasons they require permanent care. Educational programs and special events provide additional ways to engage with the sanctuary's work. Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary suits travelers interested in regional wildlife, animal rescue, and conservation education, offering a focused alternative to larger zoos by emphasizing native species and the stories behind the animals in its care.
