Spectacular Catch: Bobcat Nabs Duck From Icy River in Yellowstone

A park ranger in Yellowstone National Park captured the moment a bobcat showed just how much it wanted a meal by leaping into an icy river to snatch a duck. The duck seemed completely unaware of the predator lurking above it, hidden in a snow bank. Suddenly, the bobcat dove into the water and nabbed the duck.

The ranger’s photos show the series of events beautifully. Yellowstone posted them on its Facebook page several years back, noting that they’d previously posted a video of a bobcat unsuccessfully hunting a duck, but this hunt ended differently.
