Bobcat vs. Shark!?
At Sebastian Inlet State Park in Vero Beach, Florida, John Bailey captured a once-in-a-lifetime photo that showed two impressive predators going head-to-head.
While observing a bobcat hunting fish on the beach, John witnessed the bobcat pounce into the surf and drag a shark out of the water.
This is a truly remarkable interaction between two predators, especially since they both dominate drastically different environments.
Normally, bobcats are terrestrial species; they prefer to hunt rabbits, hares, rodents, birds, and small fish.

While there are no shark fishing regulations for bobcats, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) noted that there are for people.
Biologists at the FWC speculated that the unlucky shark may be an adult Atlantic sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae).
These sharks grow to about 3 feet in length at their adult size, often found in shallow coastal waters.
