Bambi

Q: Where is the best place to see Bambi?

Shenandoah National Park. In Shenandoah National Park, United States, the chance of seeing all 4 (white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, skunk and owl) on the same day is under 5%, the highest of the 4 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to under 5%. Next come San Antonio (under 5% a day), Great Smoky Mountains National Park (under 5% a day) and Denver (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Q: Which of Bambi is hardest to see?

Owl. In Shenandoah National Park, the best place for Bambi, about about 10% of wildlife watchers report the owl on a given day, against about 80% for the white-tailed deer. The hardest one decides how many days you need.

Q: How do you complete Bambi on Wallace's Line?

Where is the best place to see Bambi?

Shenandoah National Park

In Shenandoah National Park, United States, the chance of seeing all 4 (white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, skunk and owl) on the same day is under 5%, the highest of the 4 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to under 5%. Next come San Antonio (under 5% a day), Great Smoky Mountains National Park (under 5% a day) and Denver (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Which of Bambi is hardest to see?

Owl
