"Here Kitty, Kitty..."









...Two bobcats...
we think a mother and a cub..."popping in" for a 6 hour visit last week
in our good friends' backyard
just
a mere 5 house down from ours. Yikes!

Did You Know...(info is from Thinkquest)
...When bobcats roar or growl,
it is so rough and deep they are often mistaken for a mountain lion.
...If a bobcat thinks that it is in danger,
it will stay in its home for days at a time without ever coming out.
...Bobcats are twice the size of their relative the house cat.
...Bobcats have five toes on the forefoot,
but the fifth toe does not leave a mark in the ground
because it is raised high up on the foot.
...It is common for a bobcat to walk 4 miles in a day.
...The bobcat does not have an accurate sense of smell.

Happy "Animal Wednesday" Folks!
Ooooh, I almost forgot...
I found a really cool bobcat jigsaw puzzle activity...check it out here!

"Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera
than they ever did in the cross hairs of a gun sight.
And after I've finished "shooting,"
my unharmed victims are still around for others to enjoy.
I have developed a deep respect for animals."
~Jimmy Stewart
