Bobcat photo taken by Jackie Hall in North Port 2016

​Did You Know?  The bobcat lives for a period of up to 14 years in the wild and can coexist with the panther, as the two do not share prey. The Florida bobcat lives in a den that consists of a hollow tree, cave, rock outcropping or other open shelter.
