Wild-Cat
It's not unusual to spot a wide variety of creatures in my habitat. We have wolves, bears, elk, moose, otters, beavers, et al. which are regularly seen in the northwoods. Very rarely seen are the cats, bobcats and even the occasional cougar both seldom caught on camera. So imagine my surprise when I came upon this cat (Caterpillarus backhoeitis), peeking out of the forest, conveniently labeled and comfortably ensconced in what appeared to be its natural habitat as I could find no tracks of any kind surrounding it, the vegetation undisturbed and enveloping it as you can see. Obviously in deep repose with its claws retracted, I didn't feel too threatened but was cautious just the same, their noise when awakened disturbing and unsettling at best.
Mysterious indeed...but then aren't all cats?
