Nov 5, 2022: Bobcat

This bobcat was caught on a trail camera at the park on October 25th at 3:30 in the morning. Bobcats are nocturnal and very elusive - it is unlikely that anyone would see one during the day. They also travel great distances and can move up to 10 miles per day. This is the first known documented sighting at the park. (Tana Tesdall, 10/25/22)
