According to The Nature Conservancy the Bobcat (pictured below) is both the most common wildcat in North America and a fierce predator. .
The Nature Conservancy says that the bobcat is "so named because of its short black, white-tipped tail... can weigh up to 20 pounds, can reach nearly 2 feet in length, and can stand 2 to 3.5 feet high. Despite its striking resemblance to the household cat, the bobcat is a fierce predator. Preferring rabbits to anything else, it will also prey on rodents, birds, raccoons, foxes and even adult deer and domestic cats on occasion." But now, thanks to a man named John Bailey, they are going to need to amend the Bobcat's dietary pattern to include seafood, and more specifically, SHARKS.
John took this picture of a Florida Bobcat dragging a shark straight out of the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach, FL at Sebastian Inlet State Park (shattering another apparent misconception about cats and water).
Per John, who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time, he noticed the bobcat, which was standing at the shoreline staring at the shark, which itself was feeding on smaller fish, when the Bobcat leaped into the water, caught a hold of the shark and proceeded to drag it out of the water onto the beach. Sadly, the Bobcat didn't get to feed on it's prey as, when it noticed John, an apparent larger predator, it dropped the shark and bolted into the nearby woods. Per Amy Kight, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary's Animal Care Director: "My first reaction was amazement that somebody actually took that picture because bobcats are generally very, very reclusive. You don't really see them out and about too often." Per the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesperson Liz Barraco: "There is no reason to believe it's {the picture} fake" and we're "very excited to see it". Per me: My son's cat, "Splat", loves fish (and turkey and ice cream and pretty much anything but fruit and veggies) but I'd sooner take my chances with an angry tiger than try to bathe him.....
That said, I am NOT a fan of killing sharks... not when it comes to humans killing sharks anyhow. I say catch all of them that you wish, but then release them back into the sea. Sharks are misperceived, tragically targeted and are both an essential and an irreplaceable part of our ecosystem.
