Over 250 species can be found within the Yosemite National Park which is truly amazing. There are almost thirty seven different types of species which are actually under threat.

Bobcat, Grey Fox, Cougar, Bat and Bear are just some.

This is because of climate change, pollution, exotic species threatening the animals and many other factors which cause the animals to become extinct and endangered also.

The Black bears of the park were actually famed; They would meet up to eat garbage and the tourist would take photographs of the bears.

Most of the open air dumps were closed off to the public and all of the bins in the park were actually replaced with bins that were bear proof.
