Bobcat Surprise
Jul 19, 2020 14:42:56 #
Last March near my hunting camp, a friend killed a six foot rattlesnake (for safety), cut off the head and rattles and threw the carcass on the ground near our old shooting bench. Within hours, the caracara birds discovered the carcass and had almost devoured it when this large male bobcat showed up.
I was fortunate to have my camera nearby and captured the cat playing with the snake like a house cat plays with a mouse. Yet I am convinced by its cautious behavior the bobcat knew this snake could be dangerous as it cavorted off with the carcass.
The bobcat was almost oblivious to my presence and I took almost seventy shots before he became bored and drifted into the brush.
I hope you enjoy viewing this amazing sequence.

Wonderful playful captures that suggest he is just a large house cat. The last one is a really nice portrait.

Great series; #10 on download contains an exceptional bobcat portrait!
Edit:
Sorry. Hereford, you beat to that observation!

Great set Bubba. I've only seen one Bobcat in the wild. It was gone in a few seconds. This is fantastic! Gary
