Crazy photos out of Western Kansas circulating on Facebook are backed by a report from Wheatland Electric.
Tuesday morning, a Wheatland Electric Cooperative line crew responded to a routine outage call near Lakin.
"Upon arrival, crews found the meter off and proceeded to isolate the source of the outage," Wheatland Electric says. "A Wheatland lineman patrolling line nearby discovered a bobcat that had come into contact with energized lines. The bobcat climbed to the top of a 35-foot electric pole and made contact simultaneously with a phase wire and a ground wire which resulted in the animal's electrocution."

A bird for breakfast?
I want to know why the right hind leg is raw to the bone. Trapped animal put up there as a prank? It’s strange.

Height advantage. Seeking out prey. Can see rabbits or ground squirrels that would normally be impossible to see from ground level.
