Bozeman Pass: Wildlife Sightings

Thank you for your interest in sharing information on wildlife sightings (dead or alive) along Interstate 90 between Bozeman and Livingston. The website is designed to collect consistent and spatially accurate information about animals that are killed by traffic or that cross the road successfully. Please only submit observations of wildlife seen on the road or within the right-of-way.

Instructions: The observation reporting map (see link below) has green markers that show landmark locations along the highway. To get started, find a green marker near where you made your wildlife observation. Zoom in on the map until you can identify the specific place where you spotted the animal(s) (dead or alive). Use the red markers, which appear when you zoom in, to indicate the location of your observation. Click on the red marker nearest your observation to record data.

How your information will help: Your observations will help officials and wildlife biologists pinpoint locations on the highway where most animals, especially mule deer and elk, are killed by traffic or cross the road successfully. They will use this information to plan safety measures that help drivers avoid collisions with animals, and that allow safe passage for animals as they move across the road and through their habitat.
