That face you make when (insert your response)… 🤔

Check out this bobcat spotted lying on a picnic table at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve.

Fun facts:
🐾 Bobcats can leap up to 12 feet in a single bound to ambush their prey.
🐾 They can run in short bursts up to 30 mph.
🐾 They place their back feet directly into the spots where their front feet stepped to walk quietly and hide their trail.

💦 Unlike domestic cats, bobcats actually enjoy water and can swim well.
