Bobcats are usually secretive and seldom seen. In Yellowstone, bobcats are occasionally seen in the Madison River valley and on the northern range in winter, when the cats are more active in the day and easier to spot on the snow. This gallery is the culmination of seven years of trying to find and photograph a bobcat.
