Portrait of a Bobcat

A bobcat looks directly at the camera as it emerges from behind some foliage in a waterway. It has fur ranging from white to medium brown, and its eyes are a light yellow. More water and greenery can be seen in the background.

A NASA photographer captured this June 14, 2013, photo of a bobcat wading through a waterway near Launch Pad 38B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Bobcats are just one of over 30 mammal species that call the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge home, along with hundreds of bird, fish, amphibian, and reptile species. The refuge, which shares space with NASA Kennedy, is also home to over 1,000 known plant species.
