Yellowstone National Park is one of the world's last and most spectacular wildernesses. It is also home to some of the richest wildlife beyond the plains of Africa. This landmark series follows the intertwining stories of Yellowstone's iconic inhabitants: the grey wolf, the grizzly bear and the herds of antelope and buffalo. In a land of beauty and peril, the dramatic lives and fortunes of these animals are inexorably bound together.

Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

    My family moved to Jackson, Wyoming in 1988 and soon after, the Yellowstone fires started. I remember seeing Yellowstone before and the year after, with everything burned. Gradually, the lodgepole pine grew back in force and what burned then is now a 30 year old strong, healthy forest. Fire is integral to our region.
  • @dorisreed6268
    Lodgepole pine requires fire to help open its cones so seeds can sprout.

    Its like people don't know that fires can be very beneficial to forests.

    35 years living in NW Montana and seeing massive fires burn millions of acres is a "choking" experience, but the immediacy of regrowth is a spectacular event. literally within weeks regrowth starts. flowers are blooming everywhere the next year.....
  • @betchface752
    Fire is natures way of restoring balance and unlocking nutrients.

    Smokey Bear always says, "Only you can prevent forest fires/wildfires!" But never once mentioned anything about this in his public service announcements.
  • @dohmattah
    These trees are made for the fires which grow better and richer after every blaze.
  • @oneshotme
    I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
  • Yep, I visited Yellowstone about 7 years after that fire. There were more little pine trees growing, than what was burned down. Very cool.
  • @hunterhq295
    Like nothing new can be made without destruction of the old
  • @tarjei99
    One thing that isboften overlooked is that the smoke from the fire fetilizes a large area down wind.

    in nature, there is no such thing as devastating fires, this is a city boys notion. he wild landscape is formed by fires, it is part of the recipe of paradise.
  • Sehr schön 🤠

    as soon as the human being is gone away, Earth will quickly recover to its previous state. We are nothing.
