Jenny Gold, Montana winter (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

These animals were photographed in Montana USA during a trip to Kalispell in February 2017. The cold conditions meant the fox, lynx and mountain lion had amazing winter coats. The two horse riders were working rounding up a mob of wild horses when one rider stumbled and his horses head was buried in the soft snow. Fortunately neither were injured.
