How do they feed and keep them all warm in the winter, and how do they keep the mean ones from eating the nice ones?

No one feeds animals in a national park...it is not a zoo. National parks are just large wildlife areas that are protected and preserved..the animals do whatever they want. No one can control nature, the animals are free to feed on other animals, as this is a part of nature, a part of the natural ecosystem. There are no "mean" and "nice" animals, they are just all "wild" animals doing what they need to do to survive.

They don't do a thing. The animals survive in nature as they always have. The animals have ways of dealing with the cold and food issues themselves. Yes, animals eat each other. They are supposed to. It isn't because they are being "mean", that's just what nature intended for them to do. It's all part of the food chain. Survival of the fittest. Remember, these are wild animals in their natural setting doing what they naturally do. They are not like animals in a zoo that rely on constant care from humans.
Don't worry about them, they will be fine, Ok?

The national park system was establish so that people could see wild things in their natural settings. National Parks are not caretakers for wildlife. The wild things take care of themselves, as they have for millions of years and will continue to do. National parks do act as refuges and protected areas. However, some allow hunting. Usually for species like deer, that tend to overpopulate.
There is no such thing as a mean animal. An animal might be a predator, but in the wild, a predator is just doing its thing. Only humans are mean.

The animals in the national parks are on their own - they are in their natural environment and are left to tend to their own survival. If one is eaten by another - like an owl eating a mouse, that is how the food chain works.

a national park is just a section of the wild where no hunting is allowed but all the animals live naturaly and fend for themselves. or are you thinking of a wwildlife park which is just an open zoo with animals from different countries, here they are fed and cared for. and dangerous ones are kept seperate.

Have you ever been to a national park? Its not a petting zoo, its survival of the fittest.

If it is an especially hard winter, they will put out hay for the hoofstock.
