MSH80_bear_tracks_in_ash_and_pumice_october_1980.jpg Animals also made a comeback soon after the May 18, 1980 eruption. Many smaller animals, such as gophers, mice, frogs, fish, and insects were hibernating below ground or under water on May 18, 1980, and they survived the blast. Larger animals such as bear (whose tracks are shown here), elk, deer, and coyotes have been moving back into the area as their food supplies increase. A mountain goat has even been spotted high on the flanks of the volcano.

MSH84_st_helens_from_harrys_ridge_fireweed_august_1984.jpg Fireweed is one species of plantlife which has returned to Mount St. Helens' devastated area. Vegetation began reappearing as early as the summer of 1980 as many small trees and plants were protected by the snowpack on May 18. Seeds, carried by the wind or by animals, also entered the area and grew. By 1985, the ridges surrounding the volcano were covered with new growth.
