Incredible Bobcat Video: Man Captures The Moment When A Wild Bobcat Makes A Huge Leap Over The River
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because bobcats are elusive nocturnal animals that are rarely spotted in daylight. The odds of an amateur capturing this magnificent display of wild cat agility and strength are one in a billion. Many professional wildlife filmmakers would be envious, whether they are fans of bobcats or any wild cat.
This cat's impressive accomplishment was captured on video in Pecan Island, Louisiana. The cat first prepared for the jump and then reached the distant bank in a single move. This raises a question: Was it a jump or a flight?
Cats are truly amazing, and we tend to forget this, regardless of the size of the cat or the species. Luckily, we have videos like this to remind us.

Laurel Serieys, a wildlife biologist at the University of Cape Town, says that “bobcats can easily jump several meters,” and it’s not uncommon for even smaller cats to do so.
In this case, “the bobcat is trying to avoid getting wet, and given how agile and athletic these animals are, jumping across the bridge is not too difficult,” Laurel said. Perhaps she was even stalking some prey. “We’ve seen bobcats hunting near water for waterfowl, so perhaps it was hunting nearby and trying to get from one side of the water to the other.”
However, larger cats can make leaps much longer than this with relative ease. Laurel stated that “if they are jumping across something, their leap can reach 6 meters.”
