Two Men Rescue Angry Bobcat From Bear Trap - Watch Its Reaction When It Feels Freedom

Feb 26, 2019

It isn’t everyday you come across a situation that may mean life or death for everyone involved. This is exactly the situation that two friends Chris and Aaron found themselves in when faced with a dangerous choice.

The two friends came upon an unsettling scene: a bobcat stranded in the snow, caught with its paw in a bear trap. Most onlookers would stay away as bobcats can be quite lethal, let alone a wounded one.

However, the men decided to let their compassion outweigh cowardice and initiate a rescue attempt with little more than a duffel bag and a long stick with a camera at the ready. As they approach the “mean little dude,” Aaron extends the stick. The bobcat growls and swipes at the stick, becoming frantic.

The pair nervously laugh as the bobcat further struggles away from the trap, likely hurting its paw even more. After much back and forth, the trap is opened, the bobcat springs up, and the men back away.

The dazed cat remains still as Chris and Aaron marvel at their triumph. The poor guy growls at the men as they move closer, remaining in a standoff. Eventually, he moves under the car and only runs free after the pair rev the engine.

The heroes reflect on what ended up being a strange and “cool experience.” Thankfully their rescue attempt meant no one got hurt too badly and the injured bobcat ran off to safety.
