Hidden trail camera records heart breaking footage of injured bobcat
Trail cameras are a great way to investigate and observe the wildlife without disturbing them. The footage often reveals wonderful and surprising things that happen in the quietest moments. But sometimes these cameras also reveal a heart breaking and cruel side of nature that is hard to watch. This was the case when the owner of this trail camera looked at the images recorded at a beaver dam in Northern Ontario.
The bobcat in this video can be seen walking along a beaver dam. Its right, rear leg appears to be badly injured, as if it had been broken but healed improperly. The cat is emaciated and is obviously unable to pursue its prey. The will to survive must be strong as the bobcat is on the lookout for game birds or beaver that might present an opportunity for a meal.
Sadly, the cat never appeared again on any future footage. It is very likely that it did not survive long after this video.
In other footage captured during the same time period, a healthy bobcat can be seen stalking something at the water's edge. When healthy, these cats can be silent and shockingly quick. It appears to have its eye on a bird or other small animal that has come to the pond for a drink of water. A healthy bobcat such as this one is an impressive sight.
