Beautiful grey and black bobcat walking on a trail in the snow. Just after a heavy winter snow this bobcat is out prowling around. Certainly an amazing wildlife creature of the winter wilderness.

A large otter is coming out of his den in the winter snow. typically otters stay in their den most of the time throughout winter, unless they are disturbed or need food. I was blessed to be able to see this large otter out of his den this winter day.

Coyote in the winter snow with a bushy tail in the background. This fella was very restless for some reason not for sure why. His winter coat of fur was very thick and he certainly must be warm under all of this fur. This kind of canine reminds me of a fox and a wolf combined.

These black bears are enduring the winter snow storm by keeping each other warm. I have never saw bears keeping each other warm like this in the winter snow. Amazing that these sleepy animals can endure such cold. I am nearly froze as the temperature is around 15 degrees. yet they seem content until they hear or smell me rustling around.

An affectionate mother Elk and her calf hugging each others neck during a winter snow. Isn’t it amazing how the natural instinct of mother hood is spread throughout all animals and creatures in wildlife.
