So Sad to see this....


RT 219 in Barkhamsted, I saw this on the road, he must have just gotten hit, I first thought it was someone's dog so I turned around and it looks like a bobcat, I could be wrong, so if you know what it is, please let me know.

Hi - yes it is sad to see this - poor animals just aren't made to deal with fast moving cars - they don't recognize the danger to themselves.

I can't quite tell without seeing the facial structures but I think that you are right - perhaps a young bobcat.

Do you have to report the sighting to the rangers?

I am not sure if I am supposed to report it, but I was among many other commuters coming home from work, I wonder who hit it? Someone told me not to touch it, you can get in trouble, I told some of the locals to go grab it to stuff since it was in such good shape. I hate to see stuffed wildlife but if it was already dead, what's the harm?

You dn't know if it had rabies and was acting erraticly and was therefore hit. Best not to touch it, I'd say.
