F10 (Weiner) under sedation after capture; this female cat was 20 pounds and took down and killed a 70 pound goat, East Central Florida, 2001

70 pound goat killed by a 20 pound female bobcat (F10 - Weiner); method of kill: suffocation by clamping of the throat; notice the evisceration and feeding of the abdomen - typical of bobcat predation on ungulates, 2001

Measuring the bite spread on the goat's neck; 4 puncture holes were found on the throat and the measurements precisely fit the distance between canines on the bobcat's upper and lower jaws of F10 (Weiner), 2001
