Bechler offers its own unique geology, water features, wildlife and topography. This area is often compared to Washington 's Olympic Peninsula because of the large meadows and marshes, thick undergrowth, and lush forests. Bechler boasts one of Yellowstone's largest concentrations of moose and beaver. Deer and elk, black bear and wolves also inhabit the area, along with an occasional grizzly. The Bechler wolf pack that originated in 2003 ranges throughout the area. Coyotes, moose and sandhill cranes can be found in the meadows. Bald eagles, osprey, water fowl, muskrats, and river otters inhabit rivers and adjacent areas.
