Bobcat Caught on Staten Island

At first, the Staten Island Advance reported that a large cat was caught in the Grasmere section of Staten Island. But now it turns out it was no ordinary cat: It was a 45-pound bobcat. The formidable feline has apparently "been roaming the residential area since late November"—scaring humans and pets alike—and "was drawn into a metallic game cage at 26 Delphine Terrace using raw chicken liver as bait." The bobcat was taken by Animal Care and Control and may be released to a wildlife rescuer, according to the Advance. Some neighbors say the bobcat was a pet, which is really nothing when compared to Ming the 400-pound tiger, who was found in living in a Harlem apartment back in 2003, alongside a caiman alligator.
