There might be driving wind, white-out blizzards or sub-zero temperatures, but animals must eat to survive.
In Wyoming, that means everything from foraging on the fringes of human society to silently stalking mice burrows and roaming the vast landscape of the Red Desert.
WyoFile readers submitted photographs depicting critters doing these things — and more — for its Cold Snap challenge, proof of the resourcefulness of animals.
