Like people, they prefer to live in special
places at certain times.

Throughout the park they wander freely. 
(Keep in mind that caution must be exercised:
view bear, Bobcats
and other dangerous animals from a safe distance,
and never feed wild animals.)

Your own chances of seeing wildlife will increase if you
fit your schedule to theirs. Many a meadow is dotted
with deer at dawn but empty when the sun beats down
and insects force the animals into protective cover. At
evening the deer again make their appearance.
Cades Cove is by far one of the best spots
in the Smokies to view wildlife at its best.
