Weary,
Reference my observation, which you quoted ?...Wild Boar weigh from almost
300 to almost 450 pounds."
Reference your observation, ?Yeah, but they aren't born that big. I suspect
the bobcat was stalking a teen age boar. Or maybe just a kindergarten boar.?
Reference Dan?s originating post, ?... I ... saw a bobcat and a > LARGE <
(emphasis supplied) wild boar ... silhouetted against the sky so I got a
good view.?
Dan does go on to detail, ?It was at least 2 feet tall, and the tail was
about 6 inches long ...?
I doubt an adult bobcat could kill a wild boar much beyond a newborn.
Alternatively, the ?bobcat? may in fact be a mountain lion. Mountain lions
are, however, MUCH larger than bobcats. Well, at least the post-
kindergarten mountain lions.
