Technically, a shark. But really? Around here we call them dogfish. They are the locusts of the seas. And they are dang good eatin’.

I always wondered why cats like fish so much when they abhor water and therefore have little or no access to fish in the wild.
Apparently, cats can fish after all.

That’s a big damn bobcat for Florida IMO.

[SMARTY]

No tail on that cat?

[CGASMIA68]

Been at the Seb Inlet ocean side many times.Rural beach in many areas.
But its the East Coast and the shadows are not indicative of evening,dusk or night and as they would be to the ocean side of the cat not beach side.
IMOP this is an early AM shot as the shadows are low and long and the sun appears be rising in the east if this is Sebastian

Cool. We have a pair with some kits in the conservation area next to the house.

5.56mm

[Mase]

Largest bobcat I’ve ever seen, and they run through my yard in Florida all the time.

[Romans Nine]

That is not a Bobcat, that is a Panther.

[Resolute Conservative]

That appears to be a cross breed. Bobcats have shorter necks and body structure. This looks like a cougar with either a tail deformation/injury or a cross with a bobcat.

...one bobcat created an extraordinary fish tale when it pulled a shark out of the surf. The dramatic moment was caught on camera by John Bailey in Vero Beach, Florida, Monday night, when he was walking along Sebastian Inlet State Park. Bailey has not yet responded to a request for comment but he told local media that he saw the cat fishing in the surf. Suddenly, the cat leaped and dragged a shark three to four feet long (one meter) out of the water. Bailey photographed the action. The bobcat, seemingly startled, then ran off into the woods, leaving the shark on the beach.

"First off - a lion, swimming in the ocean? Lions don't like water! If you'd placed it near a river or some other fresh water source, that would make sense. But you find youself in the ocean - twenty-foot wave? I'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa - coming up against a full grown, 800-lb tuna, with his twenty or thirty friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what? You've wandered into a school of tuna, and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves, we've communicated and said "You know what? Lion tastes good. Let's go get some more lion." And we've developed a system to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. We will corner your pride, your children, your offspring. We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not going to be days at a time, but an hour, hour forty-five? No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen, and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out-gunned, and out-manned."

Wusscat, more likely.

[Hawthorn]

Bobcat? Looks more like a cougar to me.

[Banjoguy]

..doesn’t look like a bobcat...looks like a cougar.

[buffaloguy]

That is a mountain lion. The long back and size give it away. A bob cat is about 40 lbs tops but the lion pictured is probably 225, maybe a bit more.

I’ll settle this....the cat is a Pooka.
