Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, is giving nature lovers a front-row view of wildlife -- from their homes.
Researchers at the park are using advanced digital and remote control cameras to monitor the park's wildlife. The cameras can operate under extreme conditions and from great distances without disturbing their habitat.
Pictures taken from the cameras are now posted on www.windowsintowonderland.-org on the Web.
