Forget catfish, this cat’s fishing.
As reported by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), a brave bobcat tackled a shark on Monday evening and brought it to shore for its dinner.
A man by the name of John Bailey captured this unusual incident after he spotted a bobcat staring into the water at Sebastian Inlet State Park while he was out for an evening stroll.
He noticed that the bobcat was transfixed on a shark that was feeding on smaller fish.
Then, in one quick moment, the bobcat leaped into the water, jumped on the shark, and dragged it to shore.

Bailey captured the photo at just the right moment, as shortly afterwards, the bobcat dropped the shark and ran into the forest.
Biologists from the FWC believe the shark is an adult Atlantic Sharpnose Shark. The typical adult size for this type of shard is a little under three feet.
