As the snow begins to melt and bird song signals the beginning of spring, park wildlife relish last opportunities to play in the snow. Check out these photos we caught of a river otter rolling in the snow along the bank of the Merced River! (It's our last chance for a while, too, to play in the snow at Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area: The Nordic Center will be closing this Sunday for the season, and the Badger Pass Road will be closing at 7pm on Sunday night.) | Yosemite National Park

❄️A fresh snow fall is the perfect excuse to get outside and play! ⛄ Our North American river otters Emmett and Potomac spent their snow day with lots of digging, rolling and sliding in the snow, before they took a dip in their pool.
