Bobcats are one of the most elusive animals in Michigan. Last winter I was “lucky” enough to have two of them race in front of me while driving. I say “lucky” because even though they were able to run in front of my car from a starting point almost next to me, I was able to slow enough to see them close up. The thing that surprised me most in addition to their speed was how muscular they are – seriously ripped!
Paul captured this bobcat last week with his trail cam which I think is in the UP is from Loomis near Clare, but as The Leader shares, bobcats are found all across Michigan, even in cities! See lots more shots in his 2020 Trail Camera gallery on Flickr.

There was a bobcat found in Dickinson, Michigan a week or so ago – poor thing tangoed with a porcupine but was rescued and needs to put on a few pounds.
