Brrr! I feel really sorry for them, Liz, they are sooo wet and cold, they make me shiver too … love the photo’s though, they are stunning!
Yes, it’s a tough time of the year for them. The troops which can shelter in caves are the luckier ones.
They do look chilly-such expressive body language.
I love that first image – like he’s praying for the weather to change!
…. and guess what, it’s sunny today!
Lovely capture, Liz! Looks like moma is quite enjoying the rain 🙂
Yes, the adults have more bulk and fur…. it’s juveniles and babies that seem to dislike the wet.
