    Larval California newts (Taricha torosa) that are very close to hatching into the surrounding water. Very small they will have to evade predatory bugs and hungry adults while themselves hunting down copepods and other micro fauna to feed on.
    A female bobcat (Lynx rufus) bring back a gopher for her kitten - she did not immediately find the kitten so cached the gopher in leaf litter instead. After calling the kitten to her and reuniting she chose to consume the whole gopher herself.
    A bobcat (Lynx rufus) mother and kitten take a moment to sit and survey their domain at the edge of the forest.

The momcat only had this one kitten who did not yet seem to be hunting for itself as the mother brought back gophers for it. However, it is getting to the age where soon it will have to fend for itself.
