Welcome the forum. What's a bobcat? kinda like a mtn lion? we don't have them here in Au Bobcats are earthmoving machinery here.knewbie said:On the trail I ride, mountain lion warning signs are posted every few miles. I have not WANTED to see one; hence, my speed used to exceed my fitness! I have since slowed down. A few weeks ago I had a close call with a--sorry, not a mountain lion--a bobcat. I was making a sharp left turn on the trail and he/she saw me and took off in front of me across the trail and disappeared. I'm not sure who was more surprised. I see a lot of wild turkeys. I love the low-flying Canadian geese on my dusk rides. Well, sorry, nothing shocking in my post, but I had to write. This was my first post. Virgin post you could say...

^ no way. btw what are drop bears?j.r.hawkins said:I got nailed by a dropbear once. I've got a few scars, but I lived. Life is good.
There are a number of varieties, ranging in size from the size of a domestic cat to just slightly bigger than an adult male human. They are known for their dense fur coat, which is usually uniform in shade but varies in overall colour from grey to white. Their favourite launching point is from the limbs of mature eucalypts. Its predatory instincts.are the stuff of legend.mongoose123 said:^ no way. btw what are drop bears?
Yes, you learn when you're pretty young down here in Oz to look out for those drop bears.j.r.hawkins said:There are a number of varieties, ranging in size from the size of a domestic cat to just slightly bigger than an adult male human.

I believe a large white one was recently the subject of a public service advertisement featuring a small group of females camping in the wilderness beneath a large eucalypt. It is vital to avoid camping beneath the limbs of these trees. They are known as “widowmakers” for good reason. Fortunately the women managed to avid serious injury.
