Yellowstone volcano has many plants and animals living around it. Yellowstone has many different kinds of wildlife habitats. One of them is the alpine tundra which is a Dry, rocky, and treeless areas near the tops of mountains. Alpine tundra has very few growing plants and a few mammals, such as mountain goats and pika. Another habitat is the Mountains Meadows which is a lush, spongy oases of sedges, wildflowers and shrubs grow at elevations from about 6,000 to 11,000 feet. They range from small glades to grasslands with thousands of acres. Because of winter snows, mountain meadows often remain moist throughout the year. Elk, pronghorns and mule deer frequently live in these habitats. The last known habitat is called the Sage-steppe Grasslands

For the big animals that live in Yellowstone National Park today, such as grizzly bear, elk and wolves it's not clear where the park's boundaries start and stop. Many of these species require wide ranges of migration groups to get to their breeding sites. The result of the loophole is that wildlife migrates outside of the park boundaries into unprotected areas. The area around Yellowstone is a frequent site of conflict between wildlife and people. Forest fires are a big part of a lot of ecosystems including Yellowstone which the fires have helped the vegetation by the volcano become resilient but of course they would not be able to withstand the heat of lava. In 2014 an earthquake with a 4.8 magnitude started to drive out animals. This made people think that it was a sign that Yellowstone was ready to blow but park rangers and scientists reassured everyone that it was improbable. Speculations of that magnitude came from a video someone posted on Youtube which was reposted by other youtubers. Park rangers said that the Bison were back into the park which is something they do everyday. If Yellowstone were to erupt the plants and animals around it would almost certainly not survive the blast much less the 2000 degree fahrenheit
