Big Bend's Big Cats

Since the laundry isn't quite done and who knows when we will get internet service again, I am posting two pages today.  WOW! Two in one day!

We knew the first day we arrived that Big Bend is home to mountain lions. We didn't know that they also have bobcats and one family was living close to the campground.
Not sure what left this print behind but it must have been a good size.

The first to tell us about the bobcat were Marvin & Annie who not only saw it but got some excellent pictures of the bobcat sitting enjoying the sunshine. For the next 24 hours I checked out the site location and Thursday saw the mother and a cub playing in the field behind the laundromat. Unfortunately my lens could not pull them in so these distant pictures were all I got, but at least I saw them.

The staff here nicknamed these cats the "kitchen cats" because they spend so much time near the park store.

There is lots to see and do here in Big Bend but we will leave some of it for our next visit and move on to new adventures down the road.  The sun is up. the laundry is dry and once breakfast is finished we will hit the road.
