Who knew that large wild cats were expert shark fishermen?
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posted a picture to its Facebook page: It’s an image of a bobcat coming out of the water at Sebastian Inlet State Park in Florida, casually dragging its catch of the day behind it: a shark that doesn’t look a whole lot smaller than the bobcat!
The FWC says photographer John Bailey was strolling along the beach when he spotted the wildcat just sitting and staring into the water, and then leapt in and grabbed the Atlantic Sharpnose shark – and pulled it to shore.
What would be more shocking? A four foot shark near Vero Beach or the bobcat that fished it out of the water? Yikes. pic.twitter.com/wNcITsjkKc

Bobcats catching sharks ? Where’s the rabbits ? Think it might be Fukushima or Corexit ??? Here in Kalifornia, we’re done. Between the radiation and lack of water, it’s game over . . .
That’s why I moved to Oregon.
That’s the biggest damn bobcat I’ve ever seen! If it weren’t for the bobbed tail I’d say it was a mountain lion or a panther. It’s hard to see the markings to be sure.
Sharks have very tough hides.
But then, cats have very sharp claws and teeth.
