[Music] and this bobcat may be in luck for this particular valley is blessed a river here never freezes it's fed by a volcanic hot spring that heats these waters to 50 degrees warmer than the surrounding air hungry animals of all kinds come here to feed [Music] throughout the winter the river is full of food for those who know how to catch it here even the coyotes have become fishermen but hunting is hard for a cat that's not used to getting its feet wet so he must choose his target with care [Music] golden eye ducks but can he get close enough to pounce great perhaps you'll have more luck on the other side here steam from the river warms the surrounding trees so up in the branches there could be prey if only he could get to it it's six meters up at last a squirrel not much but enough to keep him going to survive a winter in these mountains takes tenacity and bobcats have that in abundance [Music]
