Yellowstone National Park - Winter Adaptations

In this video, park rangers Kate and Zack discuss how animals in Yellowstone adapt to harsh winter conditions. They introduce the MAD acronym, which stands for Migration, Adaptation, and Dormancy, to explain the survival strategies of various animals. Elk and bison migrate to lower elevations, while moose, lynx, and foxes adapt to the cold with physical traits. Marmots and grizzly bears enter dormancy to conserve energy. The session concludes with an invitation for questions and a preview of the next educational talk.

What unique feature do lynx have that helps them move in the snow?

How does the yellow-bellied marmot prepare for hibernation?
