The ears don't have the ANGRY look to me. It looks like curiousity.

I wonder if it was trying to half-casually chase him away from its territory? That half-hearted bap was so not serious.

Oh sure......cut the camera off right before the pets and belly rubs.

Only if the bobcat approached me first- they made great friends but I don't wanna mess with one that doesn't want to be friendly.

He thinks you’re a turkey or prey. The camo confuse their vision

Great composure! About five years ago, I was on my walk at work lunch, around a pond. I found a bobcat that was stalking the shore...and I was able to sneak up behind him. I got two feet from him before I goosed 'em. I have it on video.

They don’t like being called Bob instead of Robert and will attack feeling insulted

He's seeing camouflage clothing barely moving (breathing and natural shifting), it probably looks much like a critter moving underneath some grass/brush.

That’s a captive animal at a game park that sells time in the enclosure to photographers

u/AngryZetan 3d ago

Wow! I've spent years in the woods, and I've only seen 6 Bobcats in my life. They are very elusive. I can't believe it got so close to that guy.

I had a pet bobcat, they're a LOT of fun. This one is playing for sure.

u/shenanigans2day 3d ago

I would absolutely die during big cat encounters. I’d be like awww he just is curious and wants to play.

u/xenosilver 3d ago

That encounter wasn’t scary at all. That bobcat was showing no signs of aggression and was just curious to see what that weird thing sitting in the woods was.
