Some of these photos might be a little gruesome, but nature isn't all nice sunsets and flowers. Nature is life and death, and the more time we spend in the woods, the more we come to appreciate the struggles that each animal faces just to find food and survive. The bobcat we tracked spent a lot of time weaving through the woods, looking for prey or a place to bed down. We also found many places where either the deer or squirrels dug under the snow to find food.  |
