__What Hot Springs Is Recognized By __ Hot Springs is recognized by its world class attractiveness and safety. It is considered by many people to be the most perfect spot in America.

__When Hot Springs Started__ Hot Springs dates back to April 26, 1832, 40 years ahead of Yellowstone.

__**Info About Hot Springs **__ Hot Springs reservation, which was renamed Hot Springs National Park in 1921, was created to protect about 50 naturally flowing thermal springs.

__Wildlife Of Hot Springs__ Wildlife in Hot Springs is mostly rodents, bats, and other small mammal like animals. Because of the nice climate, there are a lot of different bird species. __Geysers of Hot Springs __ The geysers are fountains that have hot water, and the water steams up while it is throwing up jets. In some of the areas rainwater seeps through cracks that are on the rocks and drains that changes into a chamber that is deep and reaches hot rocks. The heat of the rocks come from molten rocks. The intense heat boils water. Then it turns into steam that bubbles. The pressure in the steam is finally strong enough to shoot the water upward out of the vent. Some geysers start to lose power. Then they gradually stop erupting when the valcanic heat starts to go down. Websites: nps.gov; thinkquest.org
