I Bet Ya'll Can't Find The Bobcat

in #animals7 years ago (edited)

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!

If you follow my blog you know I've been talking about the mystery of the Anasazi Indians in the 4 Corners region in the Southwest part of the U.S. and their cliff dwellings.

I'll finish that series in the next post, hopefully tomorrow.

Sometimes life happens

But things came up today and I don't have time so I'm throwing up a quickie that I think you'll enjoy.

A few weeks ago I posted some photos of Snow Leopards which were camouflaged so well that it was nearly impossible to see them in their natural habitat.

Today's photos are something similar except they were taken in the United States. The New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation posted these on their facebook page and they're really cool..

Check this out: See if you can find a baby bobcat in this photo. You'll be slapping yourself once you see him, he'll be very obvious:

Did you find him? Here's a closer view. The little guy is just a kitten and dang-near impossible to see but I'll give you a hint before going to the next photo, he's at the bottom.

Did you find him yet? Lol..okay here's a pointer for ya:

Is he too cute or what? Here's a closeup of the closeup:

Now you gotta ask yourself how many times you've walked right by one of these guys when you're out hiking. They love to stay in hiding to observe animals and people. And there's lots of them out there.

The good news is that there are over a million in the Unites States alone so they're thriving!

PS- Everyday I've been posting a photo which supposedly represents each state, this is from a fun article I found on www.livingmgz.com.

Today's state is the great state of Florida!

I know 4 Steemians from Florida.

Yes, there's the great @ginnyannette who is a fantastic writer who can take literally any mundane event or typical day and turn it into a fascinating study on human behavior. So if you aren't following her you're missing out.

The lovely and gracious @tamaralovelace is in Florida, she posts the funniest memes anywhere, guaranteed to make you laugh!

Then we have the great sir @krazzytrukker who is a professional long distance truck driver cris-crossing the United States. You can check in on him and find out what it's really like to be a truck driver and see where he's at each day, very interesting stuff and a great guy.

Also a cat fanatic but loves all animals and has dog or dogs too. Plus his wife just joined a couple weeks ago, @pooky-jax ..she's a wonderful lady so give her a shout as well and welcome her.

Are these guys nuts?

The article writers..the photo they chose for Florida does not in any way represent the state. lol..very interesting choice. It looks like it may represent a Walmart in Florida.

They said this guy had on skin-tight, short short cut off jeans. So I'm really sorry we didn't get to see that.

I bet ya 10 bucks he's a Canadian transplant! Look at that tatt on his arm..T-bone...see, Canadian all the way! lol.

God bless you guys!

Yes I am from Florida.. and people don't really dress like this.. maybe they used it because the guy is holding a Florida Gators bag.. but... who knows!!!

Howdy deadgrlsuppastar, nice to meet you! Oh I know people don't dress like that in Florida, that's what made the photo funny, they're not serious, just being silly.

I see that!!! It's cool we always get the weird stuff here.. like people googling their birthday and Florida man haha

Howdy again deadgrlsuppastar! Yes, Florida is full of entertaining stuff!

Hey, I gotta ask about your username...I mean...it sounds like a rapper or something, what does it mean? lol.

Lol.. no it's even more old school than that... remember the late 80s early 90s when the Heavy Metal Rock band "White Zombie" hit the scene (rob zombie as front man?) Rob Zombie made a song and several references to Dead Girl Supper Star. Everyone back in the 90s compared me to that reference and it kind of stuck and has followed me.. but back then someone actually took the correct spelling handle so I switched it up made it my own!

Howdy today deadgrlsuppastar! Oh, that is interesting! Yes I remember White Zombie too. Well, I really like that username for Steemit, that is extremely memorable and a brilliant choice.

Thanks!!!! 💕💕🤘🤘

Howdy sir c0ff33a! I couldn't see him either. Until I did see him and then I could lol. Thanks so much for the tokens!

Howdy Jonboy!
I totally found the baby Bobcat. He's cute!

You can put me down as being from Florida too. Granted I'm currently in Arkansas I'm originally from Florida. Yeah I'd have to say that guy is a Canadian transplant for sure. Granted Florida does have its skunk apes and backwoods rural hillbillies... but not like that HA HA.

lol! too funny sir rainbowman! I don't know what that guy's deal is.
I didn't know you were from Florida, I thought you were from the Northwest or CA. I was way off. Why did you leave Florida?

Sorry to confuse you about the northwest. I lived there for 5 years from 2012 to 2017. The last 2 and a half years I've been in Arkansas. Long story but I've been all over the place HA HA. I was here in Arkansas when I made my Steemit account.

There are many reasons I left Florida. Where do I start HA HA? I just never made it down there that's all. I still have family down there. If you check out some old blogs from a few months ago I was there recently visiting and shared my experience.

Howdy today rainbowman! Since you've lived all over what is your favorite location, Arkansas? I know it's not the West Coast!

Howdy again today Jonboy!
Honestly, I'd have to say my favorite location would be Ireland. I never lived there but I did visit for two weeks back in 2005. AMAZING!!! I never met and angry drunk Irishman HA HA. That reminds me of an old joke...

These two Irish guys walk out of a bar...
Hey, it could happen! Ba-dump-bump HA HA!

Seriously though, yeah I'd have to say Arkansas is my favorite place to live here in the States. It is beautiful here in the Ozarks. I've been to New York and even Connecticut once and honestly I wasn't too thrilled. NYC is a mad house of crazies HA HA.

If I had the chance too I wouldn't mind living in Utah once. When I left the west coast two and a half years ago we passed through Utah staying in Ogden for a night. BEAUTIFUL!!! The mountain used in the Paramount Pictures ad is right there in Ogden. I was fortunate to meet Kevin Blanch there the day we passed through. He is my favorite anti-nuke activist I get all my Fukushima information from when I post my Fukushima blogs.

Howdy again rainbowman! That's so interesting. I've also thought about Utah as being one of the few places I'd move to. Lots of independent people up there. Plus being beautiful like you said!

Ireland is interesting too, I haven't been there but the photos I see are stunning. Everyone complains about the cold, rainy winters with high winds but at least they have seasons over there.

Put me down as one of those that totally missed it!

Howdy sir simms50! I did too, and then once you see it it's easy to find!

Howdy tonight pooky-jax! Thanks so much and you are very welcome. Sorry I haven't been around much but I've been working outside alot this summer but I'll get things in order eventually, in the meantime I'll be around when I can.

I had no idea. I was not able to see the baby bobcat until you pointed at it. This was like Where's Waldo. Where's the Cat. Good game. I thought I was good at it. Wow. Funny. But true. Good that they are thriving.

Howdy Oatmeal! I couldn't find it either, I spent a long time studying that photo too! lol. Yes, it's unusual to have a species like that which is thriving. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello...!!🤗
@janton
Awesome.....!!!!!

Awww! Too cute. I sure didn't see it.

Howdy tonight Melinda! Isn't he adorable? But of course he could probably rip your face off with his razor sharp claws! lol. I looked at that dang photo for a few minutes and never saw him either.

Yeah, he is probably not very cuddly!

Yes! I did straight away when I took out my glasses! Of course, I found it in the wrong place! Hahaha!

lol! Howdy sir kaminchan! Well I didn't find it in any place so you did better than me!

I think we ought to see an optician soon!

When I stop for stuff out on the road. I usually stop at Wally Worlds. Way cheaper than the Ripp Offs that own and operate the truckstops. And it is the same in every state. All the clown world, circus performers, and Ripleys believe it or not people shop there. Best time to see the real freaks of nature are on or around the 1st and 15th when the Free Ride gov. Debit EBT cards get our hard earned tax dollars stolen from us and added to them. They crawl out from under the rocks and slither to the Wally Marts in packs. The photo is a Freddy Kruger look alike meme.

Thanks for the kind words. And I could not find the Bobcat.

lol! you are very welcome sir krazzytrukker and I couldn't find the bobcat either! I'll try to remember to go to Wally's on the 1st and 15th! lol. You far away tonight?

Oh look there is one of them now...... A Clown called Comey.

lol! that's hilarious! The look on his face lol.

I am in Seguin TX. Getting ready to roll thru Houston.

Hey I just seen this Autonomous Vehicle Clown Car Full of Politicians on their way to Detroit to the Clownworld.us Give America Away event tonight.

I bet traffic in Houston sucks. lol..and look, all the clowns are so happy. They're proud of their work!

Big time...... And add to that a......

Random Drug Screen Call

I took it then called them to ask them to remove that facility from the list. No truck parking nearby and rude. They just did not care about my time. They usually listen to the long timers like me. I even told them at the clinic this wait time and no nearby parking was unacceptable.

So pretty shitty day here. Quitting early. Cuz I am the Boss........ As long as I jump thru all the......

BULLSHIT HOOPS

Photo is how I get over the stress of a "shitty day"

Howdy tonight sir krazzytrukker! Well sir, I would avoid big cities if I could but you can't avoid them totally in your line of work. What is the deal with the drug testing, is that a requirement of the trucking association or someone?

Our friends at the FMC$A. I am sure that whoever was in charge. When they passed that law has a brother that makes the test kits.

Good ol boy network

It is a good law do not get me wrong. No dope head drivers out here........ Haaaahahahahaha. "Yea Right"

Some people got filthy rich from it and still, are you can count on it.

Ok, thank you sir krazzytrukker, I figured it was that outfit but I couldn't recall the initials. How often to they require the drug tests? They should have a place for truckers that has truck parking.

New Hires (drivers) required testing. And a random testing program has to be in place for larger companies. A certain percentage have to be tested yearly. And of course any sriver after an at fault accident.

lol! ok, what you wrote wasn't funny of course. lol.
