How does a fox catch a mouse during Yellowstone's winter months?  

Using its sensitive hearing, the fox listens to the mice walking in their tunnels under the snow.  Ever so cautiously the fox sneaks closer, jumps up in the air and buries his head in the snow.  Quite often, the fox reappears with a mouse.  

I made these images on a visit to Yellowstone at Christmas time a few years ago.  It's quite exciting behavior to witness!
