A park ranger in Yellowstone National Park captured the moment a bobcat showed just how much it wanted a meal by leaping into an icy river to snatch a duck. The duck seemed completely unaware of the predator lurking above it, hidden in a snow bank. Suddenly, the bobcat dove into the water and nabbed the duck.
