Taken from Yellowstone (2009).
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.
fires were there before you ever heard of the waste pit called Jackson Hole. "with everything burned"???? you never left your car in the massive national park.
Do NOT try telling that to an eco-nazi!
Smokey Bear always says, "Only you can prevent forest fires/wildfires!" But never once mentioned anything about this in his public service announcements.
Always FEAR MONGERING
Smoky was referring to man made wildfires. He must have mentioned for us to wait for roasted meat.
Some trees and foliage have evolved with wildfires, to the point where their seeds can only be opened in the presence of fire. Not all fire is harmful, if it's natural and controlled. Smokey the Bear refers to unnatural, uncontrolled fires, which are harmful and can burn everything instead of a small area.
No offense intended, but Smokey's mantra was "Only you can prevent FOREST fires." The campaign was created because post-WWII campers were driving to parks in record numbers - and had to be told how to put out their campfires completely because, you know: forest and park officials were tracing FOREST fires to campfires. If Smokey were around today, he'd either be sounding the alarm about man-made climate change and getting drunk with David Attenborough - or saying climate change is a hoax created by China, Al Gore, and Greta Thunberg. He's a bear, so it's hard to predict his reactions to things, you know? 🐻 Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
@@shlingusdingus4174 I hate to be a cranky-pants fact checker, but Smokey was part of a campaign to teach people to correctly put out campfires and to not toss cigarettes out of car windows. Wildfires didn't cross that bear's mind. He was out to eat - I mean, educate - careless campers. Rawr! 🐻 + 🔥 = 💀
this is a prove that nature doesn't need any human to regenerate itself, it's human who need the nature but we as human always forgot to preserve the nature and instead we always make a mistake by harming the environment.
Fires a a natural part of the cycle
Yup 👍🏽 but the agenda is use natural events with manipulated stats so make humans pay more tax. Lmao
Yes, but unfortunately people got too good at stopping fires in the late 20th century, so there is decades of deadfall everywhere that should have burned long ago. There is too much fuel, which makes fires harder to control now.
Tell that to all the tree Huggers. They would rather see the forest rot and die from disease then have them cut down and reforested
Well when dead timber piles up and nobody is allowed to touch it for decades, that happens unfortunately. It has so much fuel it just burns everything.
One thing that isboften overlooked is that the smoke from the fire fetilizes a large area down wind.
Lodgepole pine requires fire to help open its cones so seeds can sprout.
These trees are made for the fires which grow better and richer after every blaze.
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Magic of the creator..💖💖
And once again the camera man survived the blaze... 😂
Fire is natures way of restoring balance and unlocking nutrients.
The heat of the fire also releases the seeds from the pinecones.
Also there is alot of dead wood beetles that are dependent upon burned dead wood so there isnt only the first second succession species such as the fireweeds that create life
So nobody wants to talk about first management lol
Yep, I visited Yellowstone about 7 years after that fire. There were more little pine trees growing, than what was burned down. Very cool.
Wander how bad the fires would be and how different America would look if beavers weren't nearly totally wiped out
Yes, I believe beaver colonies would be refuges and buffers for the fauna in such fires, because of the ponds and recharged aquifers that their work creates.
Like nothing new can be made without destruction of the old
Thankyou
One of my favourite videos❤
Mother nature sure works wonders
0:06 who did they learn that from? 😭
As long as it is natural fire it is not in our control. But still animal will suffer for the same. Nice video
Most don't suffer. They show back up within a few days of the fire. They evolved along with the forest and the fires.
Sehr schön 🤠
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.....
Nature has a way of healing herself, and coming back as good or better. She has been doing this for billions of years, she is an expert. If Man does not understand her ways it seems Humans only get in the way or worsens or delays the healing … First of all do no harm.
It`s as though the earth has an inbuilt immune system like us .
I love how he says the animals will starve to death this winter without the Pine Forest. Lodgepole Pine forests are a dessert to 99% of Wildlife. they produce almost nothing edible other than pine nuts that only benefit squirrels, pine martins and some birds. Animals do far better in areas that have been burned or clear-cut that they do in the black forest.
as soon as the human being is gone away, Earth will quickly recover to its previous state. We are nothing.
Its like people don't know that fires can be very beneficial to forests.
😊😊😊😊
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.
😮😮😮😮😮
Yeah that's how it works
What else did you expect?
En todo el mundo la misma canción , antes hay oxigeno para vivir , claro ya contaminado pero queda.
That's how alliens will describe us, 100 years after the all out nuclear war.. 'Earth, regenerates after nuclear war'
It’s going to take longer than 100 , maybe 1000
"Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:13! GET READY! 🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼❤️✝️❤️ We can only be righteous by allowing FATHER GOD to wash us in the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS! ST JOHN 3:16! ❤
"...But the -Yellowstone- Earth itself had a longer perspective."
@SOULRELIEF22 Dude,... just stop with your ignorant religious crap. Please, just stop. Nobody asked about it, nobody cares about it, and it is in no way relevant to this video.
@@SOULRELIEF22 Please don't spread your stupidity to other planets. Keep it on Earth as to not bother more intelligent life forms out there that aren't superstitious.
That’s hardly news or “unprecedented!”
Does this say what year this was? (Answer: of course not.)
Listen closer: in 1988 a third of the Yellowstone burned in a single summer.
It's almost as if forest fires are a natural process of a healthy forest?!?
Almost like it's part of the natural cycle
Ohhh really
Beautiful but😢
Yakko: "MWAH! G'NIGHT, EVERYBODY!"
For creation to happen , destruction needs to happen first
WOW !!! And in tomorrows show, SUN REAPPEARS AFTER DISAPPEARING THE NIGHT BEFORE. 😮 Shame about the fire of course, but what did these people expect to happen ? Tribesmen in Africa have been doing this for millennia. 🙄
We can't be allowed to heavily rely on the resilience of plants & tree seeds for long. What if they give up ? Exponentially dire the situation would become.
Norway has created a seed bank. Millions of seeds, more all the time, kept cold, periodically warmed and checked for growth, replaced, etc.
Shit! Always a big shit when great fires happens every year! Here US, Europe, Australia, ever year! 😒
In Latvia we don't see forest fire 🔥.
@@abcdnb256 Nice for you! Maybe you`ll see the fire from a russian AK-12 soon! 😎 I feel sorry for you, that you dont see news on several levels, funny dude! @abcdnb256 In Latvia we don't see forest fire .
Glory to TMH YAH 🥰
We return the wolves, but not the native people who know how to steward the land with controlled fires.
Trees are a natural resource provided by God. Cones burst in the ensuing heat and later trees will grow again. That God's renewable resource. He planned it that way.
Force de la nature 🌲🌺🍃 Sublime ✨
😂какая нах сила природы ?! Люди сами подожгли !!!
@@major01tul Nous parlons ICI de la régénération de la nature 🙂 Et elle sera toujours, bien plus forte que nous 😜.. .
You neglected to mention the brave firefighters and smokejumpers who work for the National Forest Service.
Oh heck, I wasn't ready for this one to end.
nice video to say water is wet
Give farm farming for forset daily money and need thing worker jobless watering planting farming job
This looks like an early attempt at AI trying to make a sentence lol
Hello grandpa, I am a BBC fan and would like to consult with you to authorize me to promote your video works on TikTok in China. Enable more people in China to understand nature and the animal world.😊
