Bobcat on Del Mar
 
I have seen bobcats, coyotes, snakes, alligators, baby boar and even a jaguar on the golf courses. However, on Monday about 9:15 AM as I passed through the gate and crossed DelMar at Avienda Central I noticed a bobcat that exited from the carriage houses on Del Mar run across Del Mar and ducked into a rainwater drain to my right. Clearly a bobcat with pointy ears and a short tai, al furry little critter. Maybe its dating a ferral cat in the area?

Jaguar? Maybe a Florida panther, but i doubt it. they are very skittish and not seen in this area for many years

I had a bobcat under a tree in my front yard early one morning in Sanibel.
I now look around first before picking up the paper in the driveway.

Lucky you. You caught a rare glimpses of the elusive black tees panther at Pelican.. Also known as Panthera Pelecanus
My only guess is that Florida Wildlife put them there to deal with the pig problem at that course.

Are you sure it wasn't Pantera Teeus Offus?
