San Diego Humane Society's Project Wildlife rehabilitated the injured male bobcat before it was set free; the goal is to return animals within 10 miles from where they were found
A bobcat, believed to have been injured when it was hit by a car, bounded to freedom Wednesday in Mission Trails Regional Park after briefly pausing at the open door of the transport crate.
Video of the release showed the bobcat slowly emerging from the crate, looking around for a good 15 seconds before running up a nearby hill and disappearing into trees and brush.The release location in the park was within 10 miles from where the injured animal was found Jan. 18 in the Kearny Mesa area, said Andy Blue, campus director of San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center.
The next day the bobcat was moved to the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center in San Diego, where veterinarians administered pain medications and treated the cat for abrasions and minor contusions.After it was stabilized, the bobcat was moved to the Ramona Wildlife Center, where staff specialize in caring for native apex predators such as bobcats, coyotes and bears.
Blue said 10 bobcats came into the Humane Society’s care last year and six were rehabilitated and released. Two died and two young bobcats that came from Imperial County remain at the Ramona facility and are expected to be released when they are older.
