Grizzly's Cool Drink

In Yellowstone this spring we enjoyed watching this young grizzly come down for a cool drink in the Yellowstone river.

Three In A Tree

What's more fun than a black bear cub playing in a tree? Three black bear cubs playing in the same tree, of course! We really enjoyed watching these siblings explore their new world this spring.

Feels So Good

A few years back we filmed this beaver preening in the morning twilight after a night's work of doing what beavers do. She gave herself a good rub-a-dub-dub before slipping back into the den for a well-deserved nap.

Roughhousing

This year's crop of fox kits.

Ram-alanche

When the big ram decided he wanted to get off the mountain, they all came thundering down after him. I love how it started slow and quickly snowballed. Indeed, it was a ram-alanche!

(Apologies for the sloppy panning work. I was totally taken by surprise and not really prepared to shoot video.)

Beaver Munching

Found this young beaver up on the bank late in the evening just happily munching away.

Fox Kits At Play

2013-05-05T17:48:32Z

After several late snowstorms, it feels like spring has finally arrived. And that means young critters are coming out of their dens for the first time!

Nicole and I have been enjoying the antics of a red fox family: mom, dad, and their five new kits. When it's time to come out and play, it's non-stop running, jumping, and wrestling as they practice the skills they'll need for life on their own. A scavenged tennis ball rolled down the hill makes for a fun game of catch the "prey".

Mama Otter and 3 Cubs

2013-02-05T16:27:31Z

Last fall Nicole and I had the pleasure of filming and photographing these wild river otters in Yellowstone. Mama (on the left) mostly sleeps while the cubs roughhouse on the bank and in the water, then she preens them before putting them all back to bed.
