Yellowstone National Park is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is widely considered to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its geothermal features, which include geysers, hot springs, and mud pots. The most famous of these is Old Faithful, a geyser that erupts approximately every 90 minutes. The park also has a large population of wildlife, including bison, elk, wolves, and grizzly bears. Visitors can view these animals from a safe distance by taking guided tours or by driving through the park on designated roads. Yellowstone is also home to a number of historic sites, including the Old Faithful Inn, which was built in 1904 and is considered one of the finest examples of rustic architecture in the U.S. Other notable attractions include Yellowstone Lake, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and the Lamar Valley. Visitors can participate in a variety of outdoor activities at Yellowstone, including hiking, fishing, camping, and sightseeing. The park is open year-round, although some areas may be closed during the winter due to snow and ice.

Halloween Pumpkins are a traditional part of Halloween celebrations. They are usually carved into spooky or funny faces and used as decorations. The tradition of carving pumpkins for Halloween originated from an Irish legend about a man named Stingy Jack who tricked the devil and was banned from both heaven and hell. He wandered the earth with only a carved-out turnip to light his way. Irish immigrants brought this tradition to America, where they began using pumpkins instead of turnips due to their abundance and size. Today, carving pumpkins has become an art form, with intricate designs and patterns created by both amateur and professional carvers. The inside of the pumpkin is scooped out and the face is carved using a knife or specialized carving tools. Candles or LED lights are then placed inside the pumpkin to create a spooky glow. Halloween Pumpkins are a fun and festive way to celebrate the Halloween season.

Comtois horses are a draft horse breed that originated in the Franche-Comte region of France. They were developed in the 19th century for farm work and transportation, and they are known for their strength, endurance, and calm temperament. Comtois horses are typically chestnut or bay in color, and they have a distinctive thick mane and tail. They are muscular and sturdy, with a broad, powerful chest and strong legs. Today, Comtois horses are still used for agricultural work, as well as for pulling carriages and participating in parades and festivals. They are also prized for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in some parts of France.

However, efforts are being made to promote the breed internationally, and they are increasingly being recognized for their versatility and adaptability.
