Crazy stuff (bobcat vs fox)

My buddy gave me a call today. He said he was out behind his house this afternoon and heard some crazy screaming noises coming from the woods. He snuck down in the woods to check it out and said he walked right up on a bobcat that had a red fox by the throat. Now I know he doesn't smoke crack and I'm pretty sure he was sober, has anybody ever heard of anything like that?

bobcat and fox

I was calling for bobcats in the Trans-Pecos of Texas and had a gray fox responding to the caller. As luck would have it, a bobcat was coming down a trail intersecting the one the fox was on. When the bobcat saw the fox, he crouched and whirled in an attempt to catch the fox. I was lucky enough to capture it on video. This and other interesting bobcat footage is in my latest DVD, CATASTROPHIC.

The neighbor lady was driving past our house one day and she saw a large bobcat with a fox in its mouth. In the bobcats haste to get out of there it dropped the fox and they ran in different directions. A few days later I found a dead fox that just layed down and died. It was a seven pound Grey Fox.

A full grown bobcat can easily drag a deer. They are freakishly strong for their size.

The canine teeth on bobcats and mountain lions are shaped like a dagger to seperate the vertabrae on an ungulates neck. Deer are prey for bobcats. Fox would be easy if they wander to close to a crouching bobcat.
