Trailcam bobcat - finally!

[cougarmagic]

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.

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.

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.

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.

wow, congrats!!

do you have any photo's of a gray fox?

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!
