Why do the animals leave Yellowstone?

The film material recorded in the park seems to show that animals leave the park in droves. The videos that have become viral on social media show a series of bison and moose in an apparently desperate attempt to exist the park.

Even grizzly bears dealt with the action and they were seen that they made their way out.

Accordingly YahooThis prompted many to speculate the massive volcano under Yellowstone, which will become active for the first time in thousands of years before a catastrophic eruption was. However, the experts are not sold in this theory and instead tell those who are worried about what it really means.

Apparently the animals who left the park has nothing unusual in animals because it is part of their seasonal migration pattern.

Instead, it is more likely that the mountain lions were moving to follow food sources or to escape some of the two -legged visitors to the park, which can simply disturb the natural habitat and pattern of the animal through the closeness.
