WILD WEDNESDAY: Rare video of bobcat’s stalk, pounce and mouse capture

Jul 31, 2019 07:07:11

It is the smallest of B.C.’s wild cats and in this episode of Wild Wednesday, a WildSafeBC trail camera captures a bobcat hunting a mouse in total darkness.

“We were extremely lucky to get this rarely seen stalk, pounce and capture by a bobcat,” WildSafeBC writes in a post to Facebook.

Remember, bobcats are well designed to survive in the wild, housecats are not and should be kept indoors, WildSafeBC says.
