  • A hungry bobcat has made his way to the edge of a lake, in the snowiest region of Yellowstone National Park. The next step is to figure out a way to put duck on the menu.

    The Bobcats that live near my apartment are really good at catching rabbits and mice. They also hide in the creek nearby in a drain pipe when the Mallards are around, jump out and grab one when they float by. I've seen them only catch one that way. They are amazing to watch.
