What should you do if you encounter a bobcat? The Bobcat is the 3rd Largest Cat of Arizona! • Should you encounter a bobcat, you should keep as much distance between you and the animal as possible: ... Back away from the bobcat slowly and deliberately. Avoid running away because that could trigger a pursuit response •⠀ •⠀ • #TheWolfShark #Outdoors #Explorer #OptOutside #Wilderness #WildernessExplorer #WildlifePhoto #Nikon #NikonD500 #NaturePhotography #Hiking #YourShotPhotographer #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #instanature #wild #natgeo #AZwildlife #instagramAZ #bobcat #beardownarizona #Wildcat #Wildcats #universityofarizona #SonoranDesert #Tucson #Arizona #arizonahiking

What to do if you see a Mountain Lion: •Do not approach the animal. Most mountain lions will try to avoid a confrontation. Give them a way to escape. •Stay calm and speak loudly and firmly. •Do not run from a mountain lion. Running may stimulate a mountain lion’s instinct to chase. •Stand and face the animal. •Make eye contact. •Appear larger by raising your arms or opening your jacket if you are wearing one. Throw stones, branches, or whatever you can reach without crouching or turning your back. Wave your arms slowly. The idea is to convince the lion that you are not easy prey and that you may be a danger to it. •Maintain eye contact and slowly back away toward a building, vehicle, or busy area. •Protect small children so they won’t panic and run. •Fight back if attacked. •Many potential victims have fought back successfully with rocks, sticks, caps, jackets, garden tools, their bare hands, and even mountain bikes. Since a mountain lion usually tries to bite the head or neck, try to remain standing and face the animal. •⠀ •⠀ • #PrimalSurvival #TheWolfShark #Outdoors #Explorer #OptOutside #Wilderness #WildernessExplorer #WildlifePhoto #Nikon #NikonD500 #Travel #NaturePhotography #Hiking #YourShotPhotographer #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #picoftheday #instanature #wild #natgeo #AZwildlife #instagramAZ #sonorandesert #arizona #CatsOfInstagram #Mountainlion #Cougar #puma

All grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies. The term grizzly in Alaska is usually used for bears found in the interior North America.

Coyotes are omnivores, which means they will eat or try to eat just about anything. In the Sonoran Desert coyotes vary their diet with the seasons. Cactus fruit, mesquite beans, flowers, insects, rodents, lizards, rabbits, birds, and snakes make up some of their dietary choices. •⠀ •⠀ #PrimalSurvival #TheWolfShark #Outdoors #Explorer #OptOutside #Wilderness #WildernessExplorer #Navigation #Nikon #NikonD500 #Travel #NaturePhotography #Hiking #YourShotPhotographer #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #picoftheday #instanature #wild #natgeo #AZwildlife #instagramAZ #tucson #sonorandesert #DogsOfInstagram #Coyotes #Arizona #coyote (at Sonoran Desert)
