What animals are in Yosemite National Park?

What types of animals do you find in Yosemite National Park? I’m taking my son there next month and he’s really obsessed with bears, so I’m hoping we’ll get to see some bears while we’re there!

You’re in luck! There are about 400 species of animals in Yosemite National Park, including the American black bear. While you’re there, you might also encounter:
  • Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep
  • Bobcats
  • Mountain lions
  • Sierra Nevada red foxes
  • Coyotes
  • Mule deer
  • Pacific fishers
  • Bats
  • Pygmy owls
  • Western pond turtles
If you’re hoping to spot a specific animal, talk to a park ranger about where this animal might be located, and about how you can observe it safely.
Animals are fun to look at from a distance, but they can wreak havoc on your car if given the chance! That’s why it’s a good idea to make sure your car insurance policy includes
comprehensive coverage
, which covers damages from wild animals, severe weather, natural disasters, and other unexpected incidents.
