This is the same gorgeous coyote, up close, that e This is the same gorgeous coyote, up close, that entertained in the previous video. What a beauty! Thank you for the “capture with a camera” @mirelaofearth in Wyoming. Let nature take you there, now more than ever! #wyoming #coyote #roamfree #songdogs
The springtime weather is still cold in much of Wy The springtime weather is still cold in much of Wyoming. The snow melts and freezes, forming a hard crust. This little coyote shows what it’s like this time of year with these conditions. It looks like an “ouch”, and then a look around to see if anyone was watching before moving on. Of course we are anthropomorphizing, but we smiled for those few moments. Watching animals can pull us in, leaving any other thoughts behind. May they live long to share pleasure over and over. #wyoming #trapfree #roamfree
Bobcats are stealthy and quick. We rarely see ima Bobcats are stealthy and quick. We rarely see images that capture these gorgeous big/little cats as they pass through our landscapes. @RosieBerger photographed this one in Wyoming. “The wonders of our own backyard. This morning, a bobcat strolled past us, we were the required social distance from him - barely! A silver lining in the dark cloud of COVID-19.” Furbearer trapping season has closed. This magnificent cat has a better chance of living another year. Thanks for sharing @bergerrosie! #wyoming #bobcats #roamfree
The first grizzly boar in @yellowstonenps is sight The first grizzly boar in @yellowstonenps is sighted, awake from his winter nap in the wee hours of the morning. He’s in a safe zone where traps and snares are illegal. Two years ago, a grizzly was photographed unable to use its front foot due to carrying a Conibear trap. The status of the grizzly is unknown. Even these big magnificent animals are exposed to traps and snares on our landscapes from the day they are born. May this one stay safe and live long! Thank you, @opticsyellowstone.melba for taking us there with this amazing footage!
We delight in sharing this image of an otter famil We delight in sharing this image of an otter family in GTNP. These designated “protected” animals are only truly safe in our National Parks. Thanks for sharing @travel_momma. What a prize! #wyoming #otters #gtnp #trapfree #roamfree #wyomingwild
WHAT A PRIZE! A wild, free, and untrapped Wyoming WHAT A PRIZE! A wild, free, and untrapped Wyoming bobcat kitten shot with a camera this winter. The Wyoming cold temps in this area have reached a low -15 degrees at night. If this juvenile kitten has been caught in a trap and left for 24 hours, its foot will freeze. *Bobcat paws, when caught in leg-hold traps, can freeze if wind chill dips to -10F or below. ”Typical foot hold traps and snares often produce some level of complete or partial restriction of blood flow to the limb distal to the mechanism and/or damage at some level to the tissues at the gripping point. Adding extreme hypothermic conditions would presumably make the situation worse.” Winston Vickers, DVM, MPVM, Associate Veterinarian, Wildlife Health Center, UC Davis A trapper who was teaching a recent trap release workshop stated "I release a lot of bobcats, but sometimes I can't because, I'm speaking from the truth here, I can't because their foot is froze and I can't let them go, I have to harvest them. Sometimes I catch a yearling cat that I really don't want because its foot is frozen...." Please consider calling our Wyoming legislators and encourage them to consider 24-hour trap checks to minimize stress, struggling, exertion, injury, and unnecessary mortality to target and non-target species. Thanks to #jakeysforkwyoming for this priceless capture! jakeysfork.myportfolio.com/ #wyomingwild Wyoming Office of Tourism #wyomingwild #trapfree #roamfree #bobcats
A new creative work has been shared with us. Poetr A new creative work has been shared with us. Poetry is vital and invincible. Poetry has a power to inspire change like no other art form, and the power and impact of poetry is on the rise. Your interpretation is yours alone and it can change the way we think or feel about something. It can help in times of challenge and it can bolster in periods of unease. The words below were shared with WU and our advocates by a friend that we respect and trust—if they speak to you like they did to us, we hope you’ll take a moment to share them with your own communities of allies and advocates.

“Life is your art. An open heart is your camera “Life is your art. An open heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film.” - Ansel Adams We give thanks to all of you who support the wild things as essential contributors to the health of our public landscapes. Please leave the fur for the warmth of this mink when it needs it most. Thank you @jameslyule for a rare image of this big/little Wyoming furbearer. #wyoming #wyomingwild #trapemwithacamera #roamfree
Wyoming mountain lions surprise us now and then wi Wyoming mountain lions surprise us now and then with moments that remain with us for a lifetime. It’s a gift into a wild world that is just as sentient as our own. These gorgeous cougars are indiscriminately caught by traps and snares in our state. Some are released, most likely with broken toes or feet, with a poor chance of survival. Some die in the traps, a human caused mortality. This is the face of trapping in Wyoming. Please join us to create a future where inhumane trapping is unimaginable! WyomingUNtrapped.org Thank you! Photos courtesy of @lisarob22.
