Slipping silently through the saw palmetto is a stealthy mammal—rarely seen and easily missed. Shh… we’ll need to be quiet if we want even a fleeting glimpse. Oh! Did you see that? A flash of reddish-brown fur, pointed ears, and a bobbed tail. It’s a bobcat! Though bobcats are most often spotted at night, they only sleep for two to three hours at a time, which means a daytime sighting isn’t out of the question. Campers, are you ready to go on an adventure in search of this secretive and beautiful cat? We sure are! Along the way, we’ll explore SCCF’s nature trails, put our observation skills to the test, and learn about bobcats’ incredible sensory abilities. We’ll mix in exciting games and art projects like our own bobcat-inspired masks. And after all that searching, there will be plenty of time to cool off with refreshing dips in the Gulf!
