Fla. -- A picture's worth a thousand words, the old adage goes, and this picture doesn't disappoint: A Florida photographer captures the food chain in action.
Photographer John Bailey was taking an evening stroll through Sebastian Inlet State Park Monday when he spotted a bobcat on the beach, staring into the water. It was apparently watching a shark in the shallows feeding on smaller fish.
The cat continued watching nature at work when all of a sudden it leapt into the water onto the shark, estimated to be about four feet in length, and dragged its catch onto the beach.
The photo he took appears to show the determined cat hauling its prey by the tail into the sand.
Bailey says he might have gotten too close while taking the picture because the cat abruptly dropped its snack and took off into the nearby forest.

"They are out there. Bobcats are in this area and are seen regularly occasionally," said Terry O'Toole, a park services specialist who has worked at Sebastian Inlet for 35 years.
"They are more active at sunrise and sunset," he said, adding that they typically get about the size of a small dog. "They don't want anything to do with you."

 

I was just down there yesterday to get the Beach Bum Van to drive... I love this part of Florida...

 

That picture with the bobcat is pretty crazy. I did not know they would eat a shark.

 

That's pretty cool I saw that on the web yesterday. I was in Pensacola last May and stayed for about a month in San Destin, See photo's attached.
I was stuck there, went to the beach couldn't find a place to set the towel down, so all I could do was watch the pretty ladies walk around. Opps I was just a bit over here.

 

Wow that's cool as hell. Where I'm from in Fla. there's coyotes and cougars and wild hogs. Never did see a bobcat. The one in the pic looks huge.

 

Thanks Guys, I'm happy that you enjoyed...
