A fisher’s face close up in the snow. You can see this small predators teeth showing from the sides of his mouth. This is evidence that though this fell looks innocent he could certainly give a nasty bite in the event he got an opportunity of was provoked. These animals are rarely seen but live in the Dolly Sods Wilderness and similar areas in West Virginia.

An otter in the snow near some rocks in the winter. These animals are so playful and seem to really like playing in the snow just like little kids. This is a closer picture than some of the others and there is a little more detail.

A bobcat prowling under a pine tree in the forest. This bobcat is beautiful and resembles a lynx with the grey and white colors in the snow.

A winter waterfall deep in a ravine in West Virginia. The water is particularly high right now because of all the snow and rain we have been getting. Although this picture may look peaceful it is anything but quiet right here. The water is very loud but that in itself helps to drown out the noise of everyday concerns and worries. This waterfall is about 25 feet high although it may not look like it from the pictures.

This snow covered wildcat is sleeping under a blanket of snow. This bobcat has a thick coat of fur to help keep it warm. It does not want to even stir from its cozy little hole where it is sleeping the winter away.

A beautiful whitetail Buck Deer with a large ten point rack trotting through the snow in the forest. This deer certainly sees me and is very alert to what is going on. Although it does not seem to be scared at all. believe it or not a deer this size can be quite aggressive if it is threatened and can be dangerous if you do not have a gun or other means of protection. Believe me antlers that size and long points like that are not for playing around. This wildlife picture would make a beautiful piece of nature wall art for your den!

An older bobcat in the snow. The snow has covered this bobcat’s back after a heavy downpour of snow in the mountains. This is an older bobcat and is not nearly as on edge as the other bobcats in this area. This wildcat’s fur is very thick to keep it warm through the cold winter months.

Black Bears sleeping next to a tree in a winter snow storm. They are covered with snow and realize that it is better to keep close in order to stay the warmest. These bears have thick coats of fur and a lot of fat to help keep them warm also through harsh cold winter.
