Stay feisty!

On Dec 28th, a young bobcat was found on the side of the road unable to move. While he was still occasionally combative, he was obviously in very bad condition as he was going in and out of alertness. A full examination showed that he had suffered a dislocated left hip as well as a fracture of the left pelvis.

Bobcats are mainly crepuscular hunters, meaning they are most actively looking for food during the hours around dusk and dawn. In this time of year when those times come early and late for humans, there are far more cars on the road for crepuscular and nocturnal animals to encounter. Always try to be a little more alert while driving this time of year – scan ahead!

It’s been a few weeks and the bobcat’s condition is improving, as you can tell from the first photo! Here he’s in his carrier that’s in his ICU isolation room. And he’s very feisty about having visitors – which is a good thing.
