Bing National Parks Quiz – Trails, Wildlife and Landmarks
National parks protect some of the most beautiful places on Earth. The idea began in 1872 with Yellowstone in the United States, home to geysers like Old Faithful, and has since spread to almost every country in the world.
Each park has its own character. Yosemite is famous for granite cliffs such as El Capitan, Banff in Canada for turquoise lakes in the Rockies, and Torres del Paine in Chile for jagged towers in Patagonia. The Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited park in the United States.
Wildlife is a major attraction. Kruger in South Africa is known for the Big Five, the Serengeti for the Great Migration of wildebeest, and the Galápagos for giant tortoises and marine iguanas that helped inspire Charles Darwin.
Some parks protect culture as well as nature. Australia's Kakadu holds Aboriginal rock art that is tens of thousands of years old. Visiting responsibly helps keep these places wild for future generations.
