Trailcam bobcat - finally!

Haha - what was I just saying about never seeing bobcats??



This was taken on Feb 13th, at 8:55pm, just off the Condor Peak trail.  Bob seems a little camera shy, so I'm not sure he'll be back, but we'll give it a couple of weeks and see.  He's rolling in catnip, by the way.  

I have some more videos of a fox at this location - it's interesting to see the size comparison.  The bobcat is just slightly larger than the fox - I would guess about 15 pounds?    I'll post the fox videos here shortly.

these are just so cool. thanks for posting

Way cool.  Awesome that you finally got your vid.  Now, if I could just place a camera at the watering hole the Hooters go to.   Laughing

Keep up the great work.

We all appreciate a bird's eye view of the "Kittie's" playing in the wilderness.

Hope you catch this one again soon.

Very Happy

Thanks guys!

I'm revising my size estimate  - this is a kitten!  Gray foxes are only supposed to get to about 7 - 10 pounds.  An adult bobcat should be 20 to 30.  Comparing the videos, they're about the same size, so I bet it's less than a year old.

Cougarmagic, great videos again!!

I agree that the bobcat is a youngster. It certainly acts and moves like a kitten.

Thanks!  I don't have any still pics of gray foxes - just video, and most of it is at night, so it's black & white.

How do I get some of that catnip?
You brought the broadest smile to my face since skiing St. Jac last Sunday.
Thank you!
