Wednesday, 4/8/15, Captiva fishing catch of the day!

Bobcat Catches Atlantic Sharpnose Shark!

 

Captiva fishing, 4/8/15, we’re not the only ones shark fishing lately – here’s a wonderful photo of a bobcat catching an Atlantic Sharpnose Shark from the beach.

“What do you call a wildcat fishing for shark? One mighty brazen bobcat! This is a tale (no insult intended to the bobbed bobcat tail) of prey upon prey upon prey. John Bailey, who took this amazing picture, spotted a bobcat staring into the water at Sebastian Inlet State Park last evening while he was taking a stroll. He realized the cat was transfixed on a shark feeding on smaller fish. Suddenly, the bobcat leaped into the water atop the shark and dragged it ashore! Bailey took the photo and the cat dropped its catch and ran into the forest. Thanks to John Bailey for sharing this amazing picture of the two that got away!”
