How do wildlife protect itself from wildfires??

I am developing a childrens program and would like to be able to base it on accurate animal reactions to wildfires.How do wildlife protect itself from wildfires??
In most cases, a wildfire does not start as a rushing force that moves at high speeds. It will burn as a relatively small fire for a while. During this time, animals will flee from the smell of smoke. Unfortunately, in some cases, the adults will leave juveniles behind and the juveniles can't escape.





Most of the times when people are caught in fires it is because they stayed near the fire too long, either fighting the fire or thinking that the fire was still far off, and the flames caught up with them via a flareup.





Animals have an instinct to flee from the flames and thus are usually not caught although it is not completely unknown for animal carcasses to be found after particularly bad fires.How do wildlife protect itself from wildfires??
ah, smokey the bear carries a shovel i think.
Du ... They run like the wind!!!!!!
They have better instincts than humans; they run the other direction!
Animals have instincts that tell them when danger is near.. so when they are afraid of danger they run like hell.
