Bobcat Kitten Hunting Lesson | America’s National Parks

the snows of winter evaporate into the
mists of spring
and the shadowy Bobcat emerges with an
apprentice killer in tow mother is an
old hand at this the kitten mirrors her
every move the Huntress demonstrates the
finer points watch for the tiniest
tremor listen for the slightest
scratching and pounce
that the voles sometimes getaway is part
of the education if at first you don’t
succeed try try again
there you go moms kill leads to a
rousing game of keep-away
this sharpens the youngsters ability to
chase and while her kitten needs perhaps
mom will find her own lunch but no
there’s another kitten waiting in the
wings
and the merry-go-round starts all over
again
kids sometimes it seems like they’ll
never leave home
