Video: Bobcat on the Midcoast



October 2008

My daughter, Liz, and I were driving on the Midcoast earlier today when she called out, "Bobcat!"

I swung the car around and was thankful I had an old camcorder in the back seat. The cat seemed unused to vehicles and would start and scowl as each passed. It seemed nervous, though beautiful.

If you work for a wildlife or public safety agency please contact me to discuss the exact location where we saw the bobcat.

I was riding my bike on Verde Rd this morning and saw at 1st was a cat. I then noticed it was a Bobcat and stopped to watch it. It was stalking prey in grass about half it's height. I went unnoticed and watched him pounce and after a couple of minutes of standing there twitching his tail he came up with a mouse. He moved a couple of feet away and began to eat his catch. Only then did I make some intentional noise and talked to him. All he did was crouch down for maybe a minute and stop eating. He then relaxed and stood at his previous height in the grass and simply watched me. I left him alone and went on with my ride... Awesome experience. I've seen a couple of Bobcats before but never when they were hunting. He barely paid attention to me. Maybe he was just hungry...

I live in Pacifica and saw the exact same animal out behind my house on the hill in 2008. I was not fast enough to get a picture. I took my memory to the internet and became convinced, I saw a bobcat. Thank you for the video that I wished I had been nimble enought to take.
