Does anyone know the percentage of animals that get out when their environment is on fire?

I live in Wyoming and we have 4 major fires burning. We have so much wildlife. Probably more than any other state except Alaska. I am worried about the wild life.

    depends on the animal

    birds escape easily and hooffed animals can out run fires, but the slow plodders, bears for example, the youngsters climb trees to escape danger, fatal. Unless they find a hole to shelter in they die. Many smaller animals find shelter in burrows and holes of other aninmals, insects if they can't fly away perish, a bonanza for opportunistic birds who always return shortly after bush fires.

    No,of course not...."animals" is meaningless,since it contains everything from humans to ants.
