Southbound traffic was backed up on Route 8 near exit 13 in Shelton this morning. No surprise, that’s usually the case every weekday morning.
But what was different was the cause: a bobcat was struck and killed and laying on the side of the road. Naturally brought traffic to crawl as drivers looked at the dead regal beast.

I’m in Brooklyn CT and just this morning two bobcats crossed the street in front of my house into the woods.

Great photo. I just had a beautiful bobcat cross my woods and lawn in Harvard, MA this AM (2/10)and went looking for a photo to confirm that what I saw was a bobcat. This has to be the same one – or may-be a close cousin
. We’ve had foxes, coyotes, fishers, but this is the first bobcat we have seen in 24 years. Thanks for the posting.

I don’t understand these posts. From the article it seems the bobcat was killed accidentally, if even killed by a human at all. Why are you all using this to condemn humans? It is sad, certainly, that the bobcat got struck down — but in the web of life, perhaps it was his time to end, and that is how he chose to meet his end. Remember humans are your kin as well, and show some compassion and prayers for those too ignorant to recognize the furred and winged and crawling ones are our brothers and sisters as well. Mitakuye Oyasin.
