Watch Bobcat Make Death-Defying Leap From Tree in Pursuit of Squirrel

Bobcats are fierce and agile hunters, and this video is proof. In the footage, posted to the StevenSteph YouTube channel, you see a bobcat chasing a squirrel on what appears to be a golf course. The squirrel then scurries up a tree with the bobcat right behind it. In a desperate effort to escape, the squirrel leaps from the top of the tree. Surprisingly, the much larger bobcat does the same, landing with a bounce, but apparently no worse for wear. The squirrel then scampers up the tree again, and the footage ends with the cat staring up at the squirrel.

Bobcats have a massive range that extends throughout the United States, Canada, and central Mexico. Adults can weigh anywhere from 13 to 40 pounds and typically eat smaller mammals like squirrels, rabbits, and birds, but will sometimes attack and kill larger animals, like deer.
