Episode What is Yellowstone?
Welcome to Yellowstone, where the ground steams, smells like rotten eggs, and shoots giant fountains of boiling water into the sky! But did you know this incredible place is actually sitting right on top of a sleeping giant? It’s true! Yellowstone was created in 1872 as the very first national park in the whole world, and it is located right above a massive supervolcano! Join Mira and Finn as they explore the wild, bubbling, and explosive history of this amazing natural wonderland. You'll learn all about Old Faithful, a famous geyser that erupts like clockwork, shooting thousands of gallons of boiling water seventeen stories high! Plus, discover the dramatic and magical true story of the gray wolves. Find out how bringing just 31 wolves back to the park in 1995 completely changed the landscape, saved the dying trees, and even brought the beavers back! From rainbow-colored hot springs filled with boiling bacteria to a 55-mile-long sponge of hot rock hidden underground, this episode is packed with mind-blowing facts. Get ready to explore the wild world of Yellowstone!
