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 was discussed yesterday on a different post. More like a mountain lion minus a tail.

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

Are Bobcats named because their tails are bobbed?

Around here we call them dogfish.

That explains a lot!

“That’s a big damn bobcat for Florida IMO.”

I first saw this picture a few days ago and the shark was described as being “4 feet”. That looks about right and if so, that looks more like a Florida panther. The tail may be turned away in the picture making it appear short. That’s a big cat!

I knew before clicking on your name that you were from Maryland. :)

If not, you have to be close to my state. I only heard “dogfish” from Marylanders.
