This photograph was taken in May 2009 at a facility run by the non-profit Animal Rescue Team during the Jesusita wildfire near Santa Barbara, California. Julia Di Sieno, the co-founder and Director of Animal Rescue Team, said that the bobcat and the fawn were rescued at different times and locations. In other words, they were not “found” huddled together under a desk during the fire.
But this is always such a cute picture
I still find it adorable that the kit is just cuddled up to the fawn. Whats heartbreaking is that bobcats have litters, and this little one was alone and probably had never been alone in his life, so he sought a companion.
They both probably found each other and the fawn was like I can’t find my mom and lil bobcat was me neither so they decided to stick together till the it was safe to go look for there moms again!
But this is always such a cute picture
