INJURED BOBCAT RECOVERING

A bobcat struck by a car in Navarre on Tuesday morning, is recovering. The adult male bobcat was brought to the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer about 11 a.m. with internal trauma and head trauma. Veterinarians worked for several hours to stabilize the animal and his prognosis was said to be very guarded. The bobcat was transferred to the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida in Pensacola, which is better equipped to deal with larger animals.
