Nature Friday - Animals of a very cold gulch

These are the toughest of the tough. In the depths of winter, they continued to use a deep gulch filled with very cold air. Moose ate foliage from the sides of a trail, bobcats hunted rabbits, rabbits ate plants from under the snow, and coyotes passed through on secret missions.

Check out the video of these animals and others deep in the gulch. Remember that the temperature readings from the trail camera are terribly inaccurate. They are usually substantially higher than reality because the camera heats up as it records.

Enjoy!

  2. my favorite is the coyote. of course it is a type of a dog.. the moose look so kind and sweet and gentle and funny and I know they are not... i just love those faces.... i can see how tall the rock is and at one time the snow covers it completely...

  5. Wow, it amazes me that all those creatures manage to survive during the cold and snow. I know some don't but they are definitely hardier than we humans.
