With no tourists around, animals at Yosemite are 'having a party'

Being cooped up at home is no fun for humans, but bears are making the most of the extra space at California's shuttered Yosemite National Park.

"The bears are just literally walking down the road to get to where they need to go," Ranger Katie Patrick said during a Facebook Live event on Sunday. She is a wildlife biologist who has worked with black bears in Yosemite since 2007.

"For the most part, I think they're having a party," she said in response to questions about what the animals have been doing since Yosemite closed on March 20.

Biden drove there and gave a speech to several Bears, Deer, squirrels and coyotes, it was the first speech he has done where there was a crowd!
