And for great grey owls it's the iciness of the snow that is hampering their hunts.Yellowstone's winter is always one of the most brutal on the planet. But 2016 saw weather records broken, and the wildlife was forced to adapt to survive. Kate Humble gets to grips with the science behind this remarkable season, from understanding the importance of the snowpack's structure as the melt begins, to uncovering why Yellowstone's unique geology is posing problems for some grazers' teeth.
