Bobcat on Trinity River Dallas Texas McCommas Bluff

A curious bobcat is attracted to the whining noise of some teenagers playing with a remote control truck on the opposite bank of the Trinity River. October 23, 2011. Towards the end of the video, you can see the teenagers screwing around with the truck on the limestone bluffs on the opposite bank. Overhead during the duration of the video is a Cessna 172, drowning out the servo motor noise that the bobcat was attracted to.

The bobcat was completely puzzled as to what the small truck might have been at that distance. As I approached the bobcat it basically ignored me as it was completely engrossed in the noise of the remote control truck. It just could not figure it out. Humans on the side of the river that I filmed this is very rare. The bobcat would not be exposed to human presence at all. One must travel miles of dirt trail to reach this point.
