Like anywhere out doors, there are animals. From bear to snakes to coyote. The best rule of thumb is if you leave them alone they will leave you alone. There is guidance to avoid bears at night, to hang your food bag in a tree. And don't keep food in your tent.
To be honest I'm more worried about a mouse or squirrel eating a hole in my pack looking for something to eat.
You should worry about big animals too. They will be hungry after long winter and will be hunting lonely travelers.....Watch out!
