Explained simply
Redwood National Park, in northern California, protects forests of coast redwoods as well as rivers, coastline and wildlife. Visitors can explore its trails and boardwalks, where they may encounter animals in their natural habitat.
Male deer, known as bucks, can clash during the autumn rut, the breeding season when they compete for access to females. These encounters may bring large animals close to paths and hikers, so visitors are generally advised to give wildlife space and avoid approaching or disturbing it.
