THIS LARGE CAT was spied by Phippsburg resident Fritz Folts, who described the encounter: “I was fishing in the Sasanoa River on Saturday early a.m. when this Bobcat swam in front of my boat and climbed ashore. I had a chance to get this photo before motoring out of the area to give the bobcat room to get out of there since he was stuck on the cliff.” According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Bobcats can be found throughout Maine, but are solitary, reclusive and rarely seen. Adult males can weigh between 20-30 pounds and average three feet in length. They are predators whose prey range from mice to full grown deer, but will also eat carrion.
