This bobcat is one of the few hunters to remain active in winter.
山猫是少数冬天还在活动的捕猎者。
Most of his prey is now hidden beneath the snow that covers his entire territory.
他领地内的大多数猎物都隐藏在茫茫大雪之下。
He hunts by listening for the faintest sound of movement.
他通过辨认极其微弱的声音来捕捉猎物。
And to prevent crunching footsteps from revealing his presence, he uses boulders as stepping stones.
为了避免踩雪的脚步声暴露行踪，他用岩石当落脚点。
A mouse. But one is not enough.
逮住一只老鼠。但这远远不够。
The deeper the snow, the harder it is to detect prey,
积雪越深越难发现猎物，
and the rewards for the effort can be disappointing. To say the least.
努力捕食却往往空手而归。这么说毫不夸张。
By midwinter, the snow is so deep
深冬时节积雪实在太深，
that bobcats are forced to leave their territories to try and find easier hunting.
山猫被迫离开他们的领地，寻找更易于捕捉的猎物。
And this bobcat may be in luck.
但这只山猫运气不错。
