Coyotes are common throughout North America. Like other wildlife, they tend to adapt to their environments and might become bolder in urban or suburban neighborhoods. Still, people can easily coexist with coyotes if they follow experts’ tips on coyote behavior, protecting pets, and avoiding feeding coyotes or other wildlife.

The Big Basin Redwood State Park in Santa Cruz, California, is home to some of the tallest and oldest redwood trees on Earth. The towering trees reach heights of over 300 feet (91 m) and have an incredibly thick bark. This natural armor usually protects their upper branches and needles from wildfire damage. However, the CZU Lightning Complex Fire that burned 97 percent of the park in August 2020, was so intense that it even scorched these ancient giants.
Three years after a wildfire burned 97% of California's Big Basin Redwoods State Park, the forest — or at least several parts of it — is making a remarkable resurgence. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported on the new developments in the park, citing researchers who spoke at a scientific symposium hosted by environmental nonprofit Santa Cruz Mountains Bioregional Council.
