snow leopards because they are my favorite big cat
I have seen a bobcat in the wild; exactly once, and that was around 40 years ago. I was walking in the woods in late fall, and it was snowing. I stopped and sat down on a rock for a rest, and my clothes were soon covered with the wet snow. Movement caught my eye, and as I watched, an animal approached. As it got closer, I saw it was a bobcat. Since I was motionless and snow-covered, it didn't notice me, but continued on it's way. I don't now recall exactly how close it was when it passed by, but it was close enough.A wild pure white or black horse.
An Elephant.
And a Bobcat.
All in their natural environment.
Wow! It must have been an awesome experience!I have seen a bobcat in the wild; exactly once, and that was around 40 years ago. I was walking in the woods in late fall, and it was snowing.

Not sure if they'd be considered "wild" as they didn't seem scared of people, and were everywhere at the top of Sulphur Mountain, in the Rockies in Banff, Alberta, when I visited in 1992.One animal I would like to see, though, is the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, but at my age, that just ain't going to happen.
