I did a post of Florida’s Bobcats (Lynx rufus) some time back, but it just disappeared from the blog.<\/p>\n

I am reposting these photos as I love watching these cats.<\/p>\n

We live in a large subdivision bordered by an even larger preserve, so these bobcats thrive on rabbits, squirrels, and, I suppose the occasional loose poodle or housecat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are crepuscular (more active around dawn and dusk), so hard to get good photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But, having no enemies other than cars and the very rare male panther passing through the preserve….they often ignore humans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Graceful and innocent looking….they can put on an amazing burst of speed when hunting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Easy to see out in the open they become almost invisible in the tall grass.<\/p>\n

Just part of our wonderful wild side of SW Florida.<\/p>\n
