Animals have been spotted in places where we don\u2019t usually see them: playing in waterways, making homes under boardwalks and taking back their natural habitats. One place they\u2019ve been seeing way more animals than usual? Yosemite National Park, where bobcats, bears and coyotes are showing up in places they&#8217;d usually avoid. On this episode, park ranger Jamie Richards talks about what she and the other rangers are seeing, how you can engage with the park\u2019s online activities and how to plan your visit as they reopen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Connect with guests:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yose\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YosemiteNPS\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YosemiteNPS\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yosemitenps\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/138795446168746\/videos\/554171905226891\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video of black bear looking for food<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YosemiteNPS\/videos\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More videos, including Kids Ask Rangers and Draw with a Ranger<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recreation.gov\/ticket\/facility\/300015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Day use reservation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yose\/planyourvisit\/covid19.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out what\u2019s open at Yosemite<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Episode sponsors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.subaru.com\">Subaru<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danner.com\/\">Danner<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript While the COVID-19 pandemic has been keeping a lot of us humans indoors, the wildlife is taking advantage of the lack of human presence.
